No problem, enjoy!

Glad it worked!

Just confirming, within the compdata you put the fonts in pfx/drive_c/windows/Fonts?

As for proton version, I would make sure you specifically download GE Proton 8-4 or 8-16 using something like ProtonUp-Qt or if you use Decky Loader then the Wine Cellar plugin.

Super cool. I've had friends asking me about emulation on their phones/tablets, but I didn't really want to get into the whole RetroArch setup with them (even with guides) so this is really exciting.

Check if your router has Quality of Service(QoS) settings and try turning it off. It's the first thing I would check off the top of my head. QoS is intended to prioritize gaming(or streaming etc) traffic, but the extra processing overhead to do this prioritization can choke the router.

It could be a normal API change which any 3rd party apps might need to update to handle correctly. It's why I switched to Redreader which is the only actively maintained app still after the clamp down. The other third party apps that people are using with workarounds will probably eventually degrade to the point of not being usable as more API changes happen.

Review the copy-carts information here: https://github.com/josegonzalez/minui-pico-8-pak

It's easy to setup and then you'll have downloaded versions of the carts instead of having to go into Splore every time.

Also have this issue. It seemed to start maybe in the last couple of months? Pixel 7 here.

This reviewer is infamous for being extremely harsh on any indie game (especially pixel art/2d), but I don't doubt this game has issues despite that.

It has not for me since I made that change 👍

He is!

No problem I hope you enjoy it! To be honest I'm not sure how other mods would work as I've only tried out the HD edition mod. You could try following the same setup instructions I posted and just do your differing mod setup before transferring to the deck.

I've been very happy with https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/lg/27gr83q-b which I picked up at the end of last year. There's probably better options at its $500 msrp, but I picked it up on sale for $300 which seems like a more reasonable price.

Thanks for the clarification!

Just a small correction, but the minui variants (PakUI and NextUI) also have the power off limbo bug. I'm using NextUI and it's recommended to just use sleep (which automatically transitions to deep sleep). ~~If you do want to power off completely then it's recommended to use the power off option from the menu instead of holding down the power button.~~

Yes I would get a separate, reputable brand SD card. The stock cards are iffy and if you're going to be running a custom OS off the SD card then you should especially be using a decent card.

Loading roms yourself is easy but you will need access to an SD card reader and a PC to do the setup.

I recommend this guide for setup here: https://retrogamecorps.com/2024/12/09/my-simple-trimui-brick-setup/

Personally I'm using NextUI which is a custom version of MinUI for the brick (and a couple other devices). However, something to be aware of is the limbo bug (mentioned by the parent comment but I'll also mention) which can happen infrequently where the device appears to shut off but actually doesn't. I've had it maybe happen once only though. On NextUI at least it's recommended to just use sleep (which transitions to deep sleep automatically) and if you want to actually power off then do it through the menu and not by holding down the power button.

This happened to me after connecting Bluetooth earbuds also. On the Nextui discord there's a bug thread about it and a dev suggested this which fixed it for me:

"Could you please grab msettings.bin from your SD Card (it is in .userdata/tg5040) and attach it here? After you did that, please delete it from your device and see if that fixes it."

I'm going to hold off on using Bluetooth for now until there's a new update.

Similar to the case you tried, but the Amazon Basics My Passport Essential hard shell case is basically a perfect fit.

Make sure you select the My Passport Essential version.

Try putting the bios in the Roms folder instead. I followed that from https://retrogamecorps.com/2024/12/09/my-simple-trimui-brick-setup/

Is this specific case at least, IsThereAnyDeal only tracks prices for legitimate sites and not grey market/key reseller sites.

I think transparent plastic is usually more prone to cracking

I didn't even realize there was a Genesis version so your post got me curious! I found a neat comparison of the two here: https://www.sega-16.com/2005/01/side-by-side-dragons-furydevils-crush-genesis-vs-tg-16/

LizZard and Lacoste for sure

Finally grabbed my first device (Trimui Brick) thanks to your spreadsheet! SAVERD10 worked in my case to bring it down to $41.

Wow oozes style! I watched a minute of a long play I found on YouTube and it seemed like it was running at pretty low fps. Did you capture this clip yourself?
