Corrections:

  • The path of the roms has been added.
  • Re-uploaded because some files were corrupt.

HOW TO INSTALL

  • Copy the contents of the "Better.Than.Nothing.BTN.beta.version.1.01.7z" file to a Micro-SD card formatted in FAT32 with allocation size 32.

  • Put the card in the console and turn it on. It will boot with a screen indicating that it is preparing the first boot (creates the cache memory file), then a screen with the name of the image and then it will jump to the main system menu. Once this is done, you have to turn off the console, then transfer the games to the card and that's it.

EXTRA SHORTCUTS FOR CERTAIN SYSTEMS

  • GAME BOY: Use R2 and L2 to switch color palettes and R1 to speed up the game.
  • GAME BOY COLOR: Use R1 to speed up the game.
  • GAME BOY ADVANCE: Use R2 to speed up the game.
  • ARCADE: Use R2 to open the configuration menu, where you can change switches or activate cheats.
  • NEO GEO AND NEOGEO CD: A+B+C: Press this on the Universal Bios screen to change region, BIOS configuration, and other options. Select + Start or Start + A + B + C: Access the in-game menu to activate cheats. Hold Start for a few seconds: Access the game's switch menu (Neo Geo only).
    To load a save state when starting a game, do so after the Unibios loading screen to avoid corruption. If corruption occurs, you can reload the state after exiting and re-entering the game.
  • CAPCOM (CPS1, CPS2, AND CPS3): BOM's switch files have been used. Although FBA cannot change them, it can read them, so games like Alien vs Predator and the first D&D are in Spanish, while games like SFA 3 have proper difficulty and one-credit settings.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • For systems like DC, PSP, N64 it is not recommended to play for long periods as the console heats up, and these systems are not really meant to be played on this console.
  • Remember that you can switch cores when loading a game. If a game doesn't perform well with one core, try another. The Miyoo system does not allow saving core assignments (something we cannot remedy).
    By default, Arcade loads games with the "mame2003_plus_libretro" core, but some games may need others. For demanding games, use the "km_mame2003_xtreme_libretro" core, and for others, "fbneo_libretro" may be necessary. This requires experimentation.
  • After exiting sleep mode, both background music and screen brightness do not return to default values (this is not an image fault but a console issue).
  • If the analog control has "drift," it is recommended to calibrate it in the system settings until it works correctly.

CHANGELOG (UPDATE 1) - 05/28/2024

  • OS updated with the latest Miyoo files.
