NEO GEO on the Miyoo Mini | UniBios, MVS, AES, Cheats | Full Setup guide and tutorial!

[Music] hello and welcome to retro breeze it's finally here my guide for neo geo on the me you mini just playing neo geo is very easy on the mio mini but it goes a lot further than that we'll start this guide by setting up everything you need to get neo geo games running then we'll explore what the neo geo actually was the difference between mvs and aes modes and how to change various options using a special bios called unibios alright let's begin first enable neo geo in the onion installer go to apps then the onion installer enable snk neo geo in the list then press start to return to the main menu you can now power off your miu mini by the way onion os uses the final burn alpha 2012 neo geo core it's a little outdated but it works just fine now we need to source the neo geo bios as usual i can't show you where to get it but you're looking for a file named neogeo.zip you can usually find the file within romset collections on archival websites it's really not hard to find you shouldn't have any trouble at all once you have a neogeo.zip copy it into the bios folder on your miu mini's sd card also copy the file once again into the roms neo geo folder along with your games apparently this can improve compatibility now we're all ready to find and play some neo geo games before that though a little diversion which should clear up the various rom sets available in case you're unsure snk originally released a system called mvs the multi-video system which was essentially a cartridge-based arcade machine wherein a single machine could swap out up to six cartridges to load in new games snk arcade games were extremely popular so snk released a home console version known as the aes or advanced entertainment system actually the aes was only available to rent from video stores in japan and was also known as the neo geo rental system however the aes was so popular the snk eventually released it as a luxury games console for the home called the neo geo which launched for a positively mental 649.99 us dollars which adjusted for inflation in about 2021 would be around 1300 us dollars anyway all of this is to say there are generally two different types of neo-geo roms available mvs and aes you may find collections for either looking around on archival websites or elsewhere thankfully it doesn't really matter which you get because the games themselves are more or less identical other than very minor changes between the two versions though there are some games it didn't launch on the aes system personally i would look for a complete mvs rom set this will more than likely give you the most compatible games the games you get should come in a collection of zip files just go ahead and copy them over to the neo geo folder on your sd card if that folder doesn't exist just make it all right back on the miu mini refresh your roms and go into the neo geo system and they should all appear your game should now launch without any trouble actually it can take a minute or so with some games and you get this weird green flashing screen but don't worry about that the neo geo control pad uses a four button layout but it's ranged differently than the miu mini the mini's b button is the neo geo's a button the mini's a is the neo gsb y is c and x is d you can add coins with the select or the r1 button as you can see the game works just fine and it's currently working on mvs mode that is the arcade version of the game if the arcade experience is what you want you can pretty much just stop here you're good to go however you'll also want to check out aes mode wherein the games work a little bit more like standard video games with more options alternative game modes and more in game press function and select at the same time to bring up the retroarch menu then go to options select neo geo mode and change it to uni bios go back select overrides and select save core overrides this will activate unibios on all of your neo geo games which is good even if you're sticking with mvs mode now re-enter the game when you see this universe file screen press y a and b at the same time to bring up the unibios menu here use the mini's b button to enter the region setup you can now see the available options and corresponding buttons at the bottom select your region choice europe for me then select console.aes press y to exit and your game will restart in console aas mode here is king of fighters 97. in aes mode there are many extra options and modes you won't find in mvs mode you also don't need to insert virtual coins you'll want to enter the bios and set the mode for each game you want to use the aes mode there are settings in the retroarch options to set the whole system to aes but i couldn't get it to work so drop me a comment below if you figure that out use the same method of entering the unibios and set it back to mvs mode if you want to alright you thought i was done but no i'm going to show you how to use cheats in game with the unibios enabled simply press start and select at the same time select cheats database and toggle on the cheats that you want the list can scroll down further as well sometimes press c which is the y button to return to the game and enjoy annihilating your enemies like this and actually that about sums it up for this video i hope it helps you play some of these very impressive neo geo titles in both their arcade and home console modes for the time some of these games are super impressive this game crossed swords is basically a retro arcade skyrim and it is just awesome i'm kind of addicted to it pulse star is like an r-type clone but the 2d graphics are really immersive and kind of look 3d at times and then of course there's all your classic metal slug run and guns and fighting games like king of fighters and fatal fury as well anyway thank you very much for watching this video if you enjoyed it or found it helpful or both please consider subscribing to my channel and also leaving
