This totally did the trick for me! I was convinced that I’d need to convert each of my ROMs, or some other convoluted process. Thanks so much for leaving this comment!

One problem I have had is that portmaster games install, but whenever I try and run them from the roms section the screen goes black for a moment and then I go back to the menu.

I have double checked I have the runtimes and I have tried with the games listed in the guide but the issue persists, has anyone else had this issue?

Thanks again!

I love this tutorial so much I bought a second brick for my brother in law and made a copy of my SD card following these instructions (formatting it to dos before copying all system and ron files over). Unfortunately it reverts to stock OS when I test the clone on my own brick. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Looks like new versions of MinUI have combined the Brick and SmartPro folders. So, your instructions for Pico8 will not work.

You need to copy the Pico8 files to:

Emus > tg5040 > PICO.pak > PICO8_Wrapper > bin > pico8.dat and pico8_64

Instead of:

Emus > tg3040 > PICO.pak > PICO8_Wrapper > bin > pico8.dat and pico8_64

Thank you for the guide!

On my 35XXSP when I play GB I can hit L1 or R1 to cycle different color palettes but can’t figure out how to get that option on MinUI. Is it even possible?

For each game that has Bin and Cue files, just place them into the same folder as you suggest. This will create a clean list for all PSX games. Also, for multi disc games, you will have to put all Bin and Cue files from each disc into the same one folder. You’ll also have to create a playlist text file (m3u file) to tell the OS the order of the discs. See the Read Me file in the MinUI base folder for details.

With the custom packs, is there a way to get N64 operable with MinUI? I’ve looked around but I can’t find anything.

Second question, is there a way to get multicart games running locally for PICO 8? I have everything to run PICO natively, but Splore does not work for me – and I don’t have WIFI available all the time.

Thank you!

  • Update instructions to reflect the fact that the latest MinUI release has merged the tg3040 and tg5040 folders

[“Add BIOS files” section]

  • Add instructions for what files to put inside these folders: MGBA, NGPC, P8, RETROARCH, SFC, SMS, VB
  • Fix typo: “Super Game Boy: Bios > sgb.bios” should be “Super Game Boy: Bios > SGB > sgb.bios”
  • These two lines were confusing because after following instructions there was no “dc” folder:

Sega Dreamcast: Bios > dc > dc_boot.bin
Sega Naomi: Bios > dc > naomi.zip

[“Adding PortMaster” section]

  • There is no Portmaster.pak file in Tools/tg5040 folder after unzipping
