I have the Miyoo Mini+. I originally used MinUI and it saved games like a normal GBA and loaded the game to the menu everytime I started it, again like a standard GBA worked. I switched to OnionOS to have a nicer interface with boxart and now it only uses save states and auto starts from said state when opening a game. Not an authentic experience.

I have learned there’s a difference between game saves and save states but don’t know how to switch my handheld to use only game saves. Is it based on the core used maybe? Can anyone help me out?

    Okay so they are core related. I’ll have to take a look at which core I’m using and maybe change it up. Thank you!

    I really dislike save states as it takes away from how the game is designed to be played and removes the nostalgia of booting a system everytime I want to play. I also setup a handheld for a friend’s kids and couldn’t change it which I felt was really taking away the experience for them
