About this deal

First up, I want to talk about the Trimui Smart’s always-good-but-never-quite-perfect screen. 2.4” is a very small screen. I spend most of my handheld gaming time on a GameBoy Advance SP, a PlayStation Vita, or a Nintendo Switch Lite. Shifting down to such a small display was tough, but the screen seems to be really sharp and I actually found it surprisingly readable, even in text-dense SNES games. So, what platforms and games come pre-installed with the TRIMUI SMART? Gogamegeek sent me the 32GB version, which comes with 6,575 games. Platforms covered are: Arcade, NEO, FC, SFC, MD, GG/MS, GBA, GBC/GB, PCE & PSX. So overall, you get quite a few platforms to choose from for such a small, portable device.

Outside of the inputs, the device has a 2.4” screen, a power switch, a USB-C charging port, and a slot for an SD card where you’ll need to put your ROMs.To get a feel for how well the Trimui Smart can run, I tested out a variety of homebrew games for the NES, SNES, GB, GBC, and GBA. bug fix: LCD driver for screen tearing (fix bug from Linux kernel, only support USB Factory Recovery) Unfortunately, the 320×240 resolution on the IPS LCD display never fits quite right. The GameBoy Advance is always my starting point for these handhelds, and it ran at 240×160. The problem, for those who don’t spend way too much time thinking of these sorts of things, is that you want to be able to scale an image up in whole numbers to keep things looking as accurate as possible. If you doubled the dimensions of a GBA image to 480×320, then each pixel of the original image could just become 4 pixels in the new version and it would effectively look the same. Without a whole value to multiple, things get muddied and weird. Whilst the specs of the TRIMUI SMART may not be as powerful as the larger handhelds on the market, it’s not meant to be. Micro consoles are all about portability whilst still being able to play most games on platforms well up to PS1 (sorry guys, there are no PSP or N64 games here). This allows the SMART console to be an affordable option focusing more on portability. Due to the different monitor and light effect, the actual color of the item might be slightly different from the color showed on the pictures. Thank you!

It’s well made, very portable and easy to use. Image quality was bright, clear and ideal for this size of device. The number of games included gave me plenty of choice and had some of the best and most popular arcade games available. Support Bluetooth-compatible Headset: New generation chip, wireless Bluetooth-compatible. Support wireless Bluetooth-compatible headset to enjoy unrestricted pleasure. But with a few concept images leaked over the holidays, it would seem that Trimui aims to go a bit larger with their next few consoles. I sold my gameboy micro a long time ago and always regretted it. Now this little handheld fills the void perfectly. I’ll get something else when I want to play higher end systems but as a Genesis/SNES/GBA machine it works great for me. Reply Finally, there’s the actual firmware and emulators that make things run. The Trimui Smart runs on what seems to be a modified version of Retroarch, so a lot of the emulation settings that you can play with will be very familiar to emulation veterans. I’m sure that with some tweaking the performance could be boosted quite a bit, but I honestly never really found that necessary.

Please make sure you have the corect bios files in place for systems to work. Please place your bios files in SDcard/Bios No dreamcast support? 1.6 ghz should be enough for most games. Also there are tons of games for dreamcast without… We expect that the internals will be nearly identical to the Trimui Smart device that recently came out… just in a totally different form factor and a much better screen.GameBoy, GameBoy Color, and NES games all seemed to run perfectly on the machine, and every SNES or GBA game I tried was totally playable with just a few trade-offs. On the GameBoy Advance side of things, I found screen tearing and audio hiccups, but it was never consistent. We’re talking about an issue every minute or so of play, which in the grand scheme of things is almost nothing.
