MinUI

A simple game menu for Anbernic, Miyoo and Trimui handhelds, on the SD card. MinUI website.

Where the files go

Where	BIOS folder
On the SD card	Bios/<TAG>/, one folder per console

Each console has its own folder, named after the tag in its Roms folder. Roms/Sony PlayStation (PS)/ uses Bios/PS/.

The command makes each console's folder for you.

The folder under Bios takes the tag in parentheses of the ROM folder, not its full name. Files listed are the ones the MinUI pack puts there.

Install

It finds the folder and checks each file.

Put the SD card in a computer. On Windows, note its letter, like E:. Put the card's path after --dest.

macOS

Open Terminal, in Applications, then Utilities. Paste the line. Press Return.

Terminal

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --platform minui --dest /path/to/card

Linux

Open a terminal. Paste the line. Press Enter.

Terminal

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --platform minui --dest /path/to/card

Windows

Open the Start menu. Type PowerShell and open it. Paste the line. Press Enter.

PowerShell

&([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.ps1))) --platform minui --dest E:\

Is it safe?

Link to share: MinUI BIOS files

Download

No ZIP for MinUI. The command installs every file and checks it. Why no ZIP?

Only some consoles? Pick them, or press c in the command.

How to check

Add --check to the command. It changes nothing.

macOS

Terminal

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --platform minui --dest /path/to/card --check

Linux

Terminal

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --platform minui --dest /path/to/card --check

Windows

PowerShell

&([scriptblock]::Create((irm https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.ps1))) --platform minui --dest E:\ --check

All good when it says All files up to date.

MinUI has no BIOS list, so it checks nothing itself. Each emulator looks for its own files when a game starts.

Reported missing anyway? --check names a wrong file.

Next steps

• First install, step by step
• When a game does not start

Reference: every file by system

Reference

For checking the work: the counts, where the list comes from, and every file with its hashes.

MinUI gives each console its own folder, named after the tag in parentheses of the Roms folder the game sits in. A game in Roms/Game Boy (GB)/ runs with Bios/GB/ as its BIOS folder (MinUI workspace/all/minarch/minarch.c:2943).

Without --platform, the installer reads the release name MinUI writes in .system/version.txt on the card. A console started by a standalone program instead of a libretro core (DraStic for NDS, native PICO-8) is not covered.

No BIOS list of its own

MinUI names no BIOS file itself: it gives each emulator core its own folder and the core looks for its files there. The pack places every file the cores it runs need into those folders. The core files are listed further down this page.
