This level of hardware allows for decent SNES emulation with exceptions for games such as Yoshi’s Island in which I am only able to achieve 14 FPS. Many PS1 games run at an acceptable speed as long as you’re not too sensitive to frameskip. For most systems below these you’re good, and both GBA and Mega Drive are great on this hardware. BUILD QUALITY AND CONTROLS Add your roms in the apropriate Roms folders and all the artwork in Imgs folder on root in the apropriate folders that have been pre created. Ooooo I'm getting nostalgic just reading this Article. I remember over 10 years ago when I first got into Obscure… 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.

As I mentioned earlier, build quality is fairly solid, and whilst being a micro console, the TRIMUI SMART still has a little bit of weight to it and does not feel cheap at all. I’m always a little worried about being able to play for extended periods of time on these micro consoles, usually because I tend to get cramps in my fingers. However, as the RTIMUI SMART is slightly larger than some of the other micro consoles I have reviewed, I didn’t have this issue this time around.

The TrimUI Model S is one of those handhelds that just appeared out of nowhere at the end of last year. Not much was known about the company behind it or the device itself. Now that it’s been available for a few months and the software has matured a little, let’s take a proper look at the little gadget. Looking at the list of games, there is certainly plenty on offer here for such a small handheld. One of my favourite games is Advance Wars for the GBA, and I was so pleased to see it included in the playlist. Whilst the screen may only be 2.4 inches in size, the image quality was bright, and all of the text was clear. On SNES, I ran into those same issues along with visual glitches that seemed to have to do with transparency and layering in the game. Think of a JRPG menu causing the whole screen to get random static on it when it opens up. Annoying, for sure, but it never made things unplayable and only happened in some games. The Firmware Wrapper Excellent review! Shame the original TrimUI device is difficult / expensive to get hold of now that it’s been replaced by the PowKiddy A66.

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.Copy the firmware zip file to SD card (by USB SD card reader), mount into Game device, turn on power. So overall, I was very impressed with the TRIMUI SMART. 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. Battery-wise, I was getting a good 3.5 hrs. of play time before I was having to consider charging the console, which in my opinion, for such a small handheld, was fairly decent. One thing I did find to be very annoying was the music playing on the main menu screen. Even after turning it down within the settings, it would increase again when I came out of a game. However, within the settings, it still showed the music as being turned down. Hopefully, this will be resolved in a future OTA update.
