A community port deck for OnionOS on the Miyoo Mini Plus. Browse the community-made apps and game ports for your handheld, then install, update and remove them over Wi-Fi without taking the SD card out.
🤖 Built by Claude. Mixtape was designed and written by Claude, Anthropic's AI model, at the request of @snyderman3000. He came up with the idea, chose the direction and tested it on real hardware. Claude wrote the code, the documentation and the artwork. Please report bugs through Issues.

- The whole community catalog. Mixtape reads the live MiyooMini-Ports catalog maintained by Producdevity, so new ports appear without a Mixtape update. If you're offline it uses the last catalog it downloaded, or a copy built into the app. A few projects not in that catalog yet (such as Panel Attack) are listed from Mixtape's own
catalog/extra.json. - One-button installs. It downloads each project's newest GitHub release, detects where the files belong (
App/,Roms/PORTS, and so on) and installs them. Projects without releases are installed from their repository. - Updates. Press Y to check everything Mixtape installed. Updates keep settings files you've edited.
- Updates itself. Mixtape checks its own GitHub releases at startup and shows ▲ READY · SELECT in the header when there's a new version. Press SELECT to install it; your settings are kept and Mixtape restarts.
- Clean removal. Erase deletes only the files Mixtape recorded when installing, and refreshes the Ports list for you.
- Safe by design. Nothing is written outside the SD card, and Onion's own system files are never replaced.
- Bring-your-own-files games are marked. Ports like Balatro, Fallout and Half-Life need your own legally purchased game data. Mixtape tags them BYO and shows where the files go. It never downloads commercial game data.
- Cassette-futurism UI. Amber phosphor, scanlines, spinning tape reels and an LED VU meter for downloads.
- Download
Mixtape-vX.Y.Z-OnionOS.zipfrom Releases. - Extract it and copy the
Appfolder to the root of your SD card, merging it with theAppfolder already there. - Open Apps → Mixtape. Wi-Fi must be on (Settings → Network).
Requires OnionOS 4.2 or newer. Wi-Fi features need a Miyoo Mini Plus or Mini Flip. On the original Mini, Mixtape shows the catalog but can't download anything.

It compiles to a single static ARMv7 binary written in Go, with no SDL or C toolchain involved.
Requires Go 1.24 or newer.
./build.sh # runs the tests, then builds dist/Mixtape-vX.Y.Z-OnionOS.zip
go run . -shot list # renders a screen to shot.png on your PC (boot|list|apps|detail|busy|done|error|confirm)Bump version in main.go, add notes in docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.md, and push to main. GitHub Actions runs the tests, builds the zip, tags the version and publishes the release. Every push to main is also test-built by the CI workflow.
