MinUI Next

MinUI with a rebuild emulation engine, includes all original MinUI Features plus:

• Game switcher menu (Onion OS style) contributed by @frysee
• Fixed both screen tearing and sync problems of the original MinUI
• Super smooth gameplay actually in sync with your screen's refresh rate! (no more stutters!)
• Much higher audio quality, due to much more advanced resampling engine (with selectable quality setting)
• Much lower latency (average 20ms, 1 frame of 60fps)
• Ambient light mode (Leds color based on whats on your screen)
• Lot of fixes on original like inputs sometimes not registering etc.
• Screen color temperature controls, besides the standard brightness control.
• Fully working Deep Sleep mode instead of complete power off after 2 minutes (instant on)
• Default Snes9x core instead of deprecated snes9x2005, also optimized version of PCSX Rearmed and optimized FBNeo included in extras
• FBNeo screen rotation works
• JP and partial CN/KR characters supported
• Ongoing development without downside of maintaining compatibility with legacy devices

Future plans roadmap

• Pal rom mode
• Bluetooth and wifi integrated
• Optional game art/media
• Configurable FN and switch buttons
• More compatibility testing with different emulators and fix/improve if nessecary
• Menu animations and color settings (maybe some kind of template system?)
• Configurable sleep mode or default auto shutdown
• Retroachievements
• Shaders
• Once everything is to my liking I will look into porting this to more devices
• Clean up all MinUI code and strip it from all stuff for legacy devices etc.

Super awesome contributions thank you's!

• @frysee for the super awesome game switcher PR. Truly love this feature, thank you so much for contributing it to this project!

Installing

Just copy MinUI.zip (don't unzip this just copy as zipfile) and trimui to the root of your SD Card, bootup your Trim UI device it will say installing/updating and after that just enjoy all your beloved games!

How to use

I think most speaks for itself but here are some handy short instructions just in case: While in menu:

• Hold start and use volume up and down to adjust brightes
• Hold select and use volume up and down to adjust color temperature
• Short press select to open game switcher menu
• Idk the rest speaks for itself I guess? While in game:
• Menu opens in game options menu, adjusting controls, scaling and what not
• Hold menu and select at same time to open up game switcher

Original MinUI's readme:

MinUI is a focused, custom launcher and libretro frontend for a variety of retro handhelds.

Features

• Simple launcher, simple SD card
• No settings or configuration
• No boxart, themes, or distractions
• Automatically hides hidden files and extension and region/version cruft in display names
• Consistent in-emulator menu with quick access to save states, disc changing, and emulator options
• Automatically sleeps after 30 seconds or press POWER to sleep (and wake)
• Automatically powers off while asleep after two minutes or hold POWER for one second
• Automatically resumes right where you left off if powered off while in-game, manually or while asleep
• Resume from manually created, last used save state by pressing X in the launcher instead of A
