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:

  1. Fast, smooth, it just works.
  2. LED breathing lights, and how each button is configurable separately.
  3. Being able to map the two lighted buttons on the front to save and load for easy save states.
  4. Works fine, and is still fast for all my game collections (as in, 1000+ gba games still loads up quick and easy to navigate).
  5. The side switch works as mute just like to stock OS (which incidentally, I didn’t like the stockOS).
  6. Consistent quick menu across all emulators.
  7. How quick and easy it is to get back in to games and auto loading save states etc.
  8. The power sleep, suspend and resume seems great.

I have to say, I was so wrong to dismiss MinUI.
