MinUI (redux)

MinUI is a focused, custom launcher and libretro frontend for a variety of retro handhelds.

Features

• Simple launcher, simple SD card
• No settings or configuration
• No boxart, themes, or distractions
• Automatically hides hidden files and extension and region/version cruft in display names
• Consistent in-emulator menu with quick access to save states, disc changing, and emulator options
• Automatically sleeps after 30 seconds or press POWER to sleep (and wake)
• Automatically powers off while asleep after two minutes or hold POWER for one second
• Automatically resumes right where you left off if powered off while in-game, manually or while asleep
• Resume from manually created, last used save state by pressing X in the launcher instead of A
• Streamlined emulator frontend (minarch + libretro cores)
• Single SD card compatible with multiple devices from different manufacturers

Primary Changes

• For ease of use, I'm only building for the consoles I own (all Miyoo)

• I've updated the sleep time to 5min instead of only 2

• Just as a note: make sure you build on a ARM mac, only works there
