A minimal vertical-list launcher for the Miyoo Mini Plus, built on top of Onion OS. Replaces the default grid menu with a clean list interface — everything else stays the same.
Requires Onion OS to be installed first. If you haven't set that up yet, grab it here. The boot screen flasher is included on your SD card under Apps once Onion is installed.

The installer is a full setup tool — it handles everything in one go:
- Installs PocketOS onto your SD card
- Imports ROMs from a folder you choose — unzips them and places each game in the correct system folder automatically
- Cleans up bad dumps — optionally removes inferior variants (bad dumps, overdumps, hacks, pirates) and keeps the best verified dump per game
- Scans genres using the OpenVGDB database so Browse by Genre works out of the box
- Applies genre overrides to fix common mis-tags
Download the installer for your platform:
| Platform | Download |
|---|---|
| Linux | PocketOS-Installer-linux.tar.gz — extract, then run ./PocketOS-Installer-linux |
| Windows | PocketOS-Installer-windows.exe |
| macOS | PocketOS-Installer-macos.tar.gz — extract, then run ./PocketOS-Installer-macos |
Point it at your SD card, optionally point it at a folder of ROM ZIPs, and click Set Up PocketOS. The installer also checks for newer versions automatically.
Download pocketOS-vX.X.zip and extract it to the root of your SD card. The .tmp_update folder will merge with the existing one. Eject and boot.
Delete .tmp_update/bin/pocketOS from your SD card and reboot. The default Onion menu comes back.
PocketOS can filter your library by genre. The Setup Suite handles this automatically during install. If you want to re-scan genres separately, use the standalone Genre Scanner:
| Platform | Download |
|---|---|
| Linux | PocketOS-GenreScanner-linux.tar.gz — extract, then run ./PocketOS-GenreScanner-linux |
| Windows | PocketOS-GenreScanner-windows.exe |
| macOS | PocketOS-GenreScanner-macos.tar.gz — extract, then run ./PocketOS-GenreScanner-macos |
Point it at your SD card and it'll scan all your ROM folders and write miyoogamelist.xml files for each system.
The Setup Suite includes a standalone ROM Importer tool if you want to add games after initial setup:
| Platform | Download |
|---|---|
| Linux | PocketOS-ROMImporter-linux.tar.gz — extract, then run ./PocketOS-ROMImporter-linux |
| Windows | PocketOS-ROMImporter-windows.exe |
| macOS | PocketOS-ROMImporter-macos.tar.gz — extract, then run ./PocketOS-ROMImporter-macos |
It scans a folder for ZIP files, extracts the ROMs into the correct system folders on your SD card, optionally removes bad/duplicate dumps, and re-scans genres — the same pipeline the installer runs.
Built on Onion OS. Icons from the Onion default icon set.
