MinUI-20210806

The official 0.106 firmware released January 8, 2023 is not compatible with MinUI. If you are on 0.105 and happy with MinUI there is no reason to update at this time. If you have already updated the official firmware, downgrading to 0.105 will restore MinUI compatibility.

Please see the readme.txt in the zip file for installation instructions.

• updated Game Boy Advance emulator (fixed trimmed rom support)
• fixed issue where two files with similar names might display as the same name (caused by invisible trailing whitespace)

As always, thanks eggs, neonloop, and gameblabla!

MinUI-20210621

Please see the readme.txt in the zip file for installation instructions.

• updated SDL with native support for USB headphones (fixes hang when unplugging USB headphones)
• updated to patched keymon with improved headphone support
• removed (no longer necessary) emulator-specific USB headphone support from WonderSwan and Game Boy Advance emulators
• fixed black square appearing in top left corner of screen on exit
• updated Tips.pak

Known issues

If any of these are deal breakers, just delete /System/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 from your SD card and re-install v1.6 until things settle down again.

• The device takes a few seconds to notice the headphones then stutters before switching output to them.
• Emulators that struggle to hit 60fps will have an even harder time when using USB headphones.
• Returning from stock can be buggy. It will hang after confirming the "update". Wait a few moments and power cycle the device. It should reboot into MinUI.
• Some PlayStation games are crashing. (I suspect this has something to do with resolution switching but haven’t had a chance to confirm yet.)

Please let me know if you run into any other issues.

As always, thanks eggs, neonloop, and gameblabla!

MinUI-20210614

Please see the readme.txt in the zip file for installation instructions.

• replaced stock SDL lib to eliminate screen tearing

Known issues

MinUI has never officially supported USB headphones but the emulators that do support it may hang when unplugging. Sooo...maybe don't do that 😅

If this is a deal breaker, just delete /System/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 from your SD card and re-install v1.6 until things settle down again.

As always, thanks eggs, neonloop, and gameblabla!
