RomManager v1.0.0
RomManager v1.0.0 - Initial Release
I spent 40 hours flat over a single weekend building, debugging, and testing this entire app from scratch. I wanted a lightweight, zero-bloat tool to handle my games right on the device without having to pull my SD card or turn on a PC every five minutes.
This is the full solo release of RomManager—an all-in-one ROM downloader, library manager, and artwork scraper built natively for the Miyoo Mini and Miyoo Mini Plus running OnionOS.
Key Features
Direct Wi-Fi Downloading: Connect directly to public internet archive repositories to stream and download game packages straight to your device.
Universal Title Translation Engine: Built a global regex engine that automatically strips out messy metadata junk (like [!], [C], or bad bracket text) and converts region shorthand tags (like (U) or (E)) into standard semantic words ((USA), (Europe)). This ensures the art scraper actually finds matches.
Dynamic Art Scraping & Live Previews: Queries external Libretro thumbnail servers on the fly to grab high-resolution box art. Displays live visual previews side-by-side with your games when browsing local storage or hovering over download options.
Buttery Smooth D-Pad Navigation: Caches your folders and file arrays on boot. Navigating massive directories reads from static arrays, completely eliminating CPU input lag or stuttering on low-power ARM chips.
On-Screen Keyboard Search: Tap Select anywhere to summon an integrated character matrix to instantly search and filter down massive database lists.
Smart Audio Memory: Includes an integrated audio engine for background music loops and menu FX. If a navigation sound triggers, the app saves its position (/tmp/bgm_position) and resumes seamlessly instead of restarting the song from the beginning.
Local Workspace Cleaning: Inspect what is on your system, fire off standalone art scrapes for individual games with missing covers, or permanently purge unwanted titles to free up space.
Quick Installation
Open the downloaded RomManager.zip.
Drag and drop the inner RomManager folder directly into the App directory on your Miyoo's SD card:
SD Card -> App -> RomManager
Put the SD card back in your Miyoo, power it on, and boot it up straight from your Apps menu!
(OnionOS will automatically handle script execution permissions on first launch.)
Acknowledgments
A huge shout out to the open-source emulation developers whose documentation made decoding the key registers and mapping stream editor engines possible.
