Full Height Mix

About

This was inspired by the following guides:

• Scraping Onion Artwork
• Retro Game Corps RG35XX starter guide

I loved this template created by AchillesPDXI so I updated it to create a 333 x 480 version which should look good on the miyoo mini as well as the MM+ and RG35XX which have a slightly larger screen.
