Welcome to spruce, the SD card overhaul for the Miyoo A30.
This Wiki will walk you through your first steps. It will get you up and running on the four most common operating systems. I am writing this as somebody that struggles with overly technical how-to guides. I have watched too many videos that just gloss over some very important yet basic steps that have created headaches for beginners like myself.
Most importantly, I am writing this as somebody that is new to retro-handhelds, for people that are new to them as well. I want you to succeed in getting spruce working no matter how skilled you are with computers. Please feel free to reach out to me directly for help!
Spruce is not an operating system (OS). It is a modified version of the stock Miyoo OS that cleans up bloat, optimizes performance, focuses on aesthetics and ease of use. It is intended to be sleek, intuitive and efficient.
You will need:
- A new, branded microSD card, purchased from a reputable source.
- A high quality branded microSD card reader.
- Download and install Rufus on Windows. Rufus is super simple, popular and effective.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PEOPLE NEW TO THE HOBBY
THROW AWAY THAT STOCK CARD!
ITS JUNK, THE GAMES ON IT ARE JUNK AND THE BIOS ARE JUNK!
