Ducky Obrien Show 076 - SBC Guides (How to use Collections on Trimui Smart Pro)

Retro Handheld News, Reviews, and Guides (and sometimes random things)

Today's episode covers how to use collections on the Trimui Smart Pro.

This method works both on Stock OS and CrossMix.

We'll be using the CollaGen app developed by rkr87. Thanks to a recent update the app works on Stock OS now.

You can find CollaGen here: https://github.com/rkr87/CollaGen/releases

After using CollaGen to create a collection, you can manually add an icon and background image. You can edit the config.json file in your collection folder to reflect the new images you added.

For Stock OS, you need to make 2 edits in the launch.sh file inside your collection folder.

You'll want to delete this line: Launcher=$(jq -r '.launch' "/mnt/SDCARD/Emus/$RomDir/config.json")

And then change this line to: LaunchPath="/mnt/SDCARD/Emus/$RomDir/launch.sh"

After saving the changes, collections created by CollaGen should work on Stock OS.

Thank you for listening!
