I got my mini+ yesterday and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it but I’m kind of stuck when it comes to adding arcade games. I’m using mame2003+ and I extracted the files for the game I wanted to play (Bosconian) but I’m having issues, when I extract I get a bunch of bin files and other number like file types, I really don’t get what any of it means or how I’m supposed to add arcade games to the miyoo. I’m using internet archive for the mame2003+ roms, bsconian is bosco.

Other than difficulties with setting up and converting file types, I am pretty illiterate in language as well as computing, I’m having a lot of fun with handheld emulation it almost feels like it’s gonna become an addiction as I’m already looking into getting a retroid pocket 4 pro

    You don't extract any arcade games. Not sure on the folder structure for the Miyoo Mini but always leave arcade roms in the .zip

    Remember, you aren’t allowed to get a new emulation device until you’ve spent more time actually playing games on the current one than you spent setting it up

    Ahahahahaha just kidding, hope you have a shelf cleared off for the junk you’re about to collect
