I was wrong, MinUI is fantastic
So, my brick arrived today, and originally I was convinced I was going to use Knulli as I had past experience with it on other devices, and I thought I needed Retro Achievements.
After playing around with it, and having some issues with WiFi (meaning I was struggling to get games on to it), I tried retro game corps MinUI guide, and I have to say, I’m blown away by it. I added the led pak for the lights, and I’ve completely switched off WiFi as I’m not going to bother with it anymore. Things I like:
- Fast, smooth, it just works.
- LED breathing lights, and how each button is configurable separately.
- Being able to map the two lighted buttons on the front to save and load for easy save states.
- Works fine, and is still fast for all my game collections (as in, 1000+ gba games still loads up quick and easy to navigate).
- The side switch works as mute just like to stock OS (which incidentally, I didn’t like the stockOS).
- Consistent quick menu across all emulators.
- How quick and easy it is to get back in to games and auto loading save states etc.
- The power sleep, suspend and resume seems great.
I have to say, I was so wrong to dismiss MinUI.
