Knulli on TrimUI Smart Pro: Setup Guide

When it first came out, the TrimUI Smart Pro was an interesting gadget, providing some competition to Retroid's Pocket 3. The primary distinction is that the Smart Pro uses a proprietary Linux interface rather than Android.

Regretfully, the "stock" UI is not as efficient as one would want and leaves much to be desired. Fortunately, more developers could purchase it as the price began to decline. Knulli may now be installed on the TrimUI Smart Pro, which offers a recognizable interface and several enhancements.

Set Up Knulli on TrimUI Smart Pro

1. Get the Knulli build by visiting the GitHub page.

• KNULLI GitHub

1. Connect your PC to your microSD card.
2. The Knulli Build should be extracted.
3. Launch your preferred USB formatting tool. Here are some suggestions.:

• Rufus
• Win32 Disk Imager
• BalenaEtcher

1. Choose the Knulli Disc Image that was just extracted to flash your microSD card.
2. Once the flashing process is complete, remove the card from your computer.
3. In your TrimUI Smart Pro, insert the card.
4. Await the completion of the boot process.

You may have seen that you cannot add your ROMs or other files once the card has been flashed. You're still in luck, though, because it's only a glitch that will be fixed someday.

1. Press the Start button on your TrimUI Smart Pro.
2. Choose System Settings by scrolling down.
3. Under the Advanced section, find and choose Frontend Developer Options.
4. Choose Format a Disk from the Tools section after scrolling down.
5. Select EXFAT as the file system.
6. Choose Format Right Away.
7. Give your TrimUI Smart Pro a reboot.

If you reboot but see the Knulli boot screen for longer than a few minutes, press and hold the Power button until the screen turns off. Then, to restart it, press and hold the Power button.

Once the Smart Pro has finished booting up, could you turn it off again? After that, please remove the microSD card, connect it to your computer, and move all your ROMs and related BIOS files to it. Reconnect it to your Smart Pro, and presto! Knulli will be operational on the TrimUI Smart Pro!

Pico-8 on TrimUI Smart Pro via Knulli

1. Visit the Lexaloffle website to buy Pico-8.
2. Get the Raspberry Pi file here.
3. The downloaded file should be unzipped.
4. Get rid of the pico8 file.
5. Change the name pico8_64 to pico8.
6. Make a new folder called pico-8.
7. Put the new folder in the user data/bios/ directory.
8. Upload the pico8, pico8_dyn, pico8_gpio, and pico8.dat files to the newly formed folder.
9. On your PC, create a new text document.
10. The following should be copied and pasted into the file:

• <?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“UTF-8”?> <systemList> <system> <name>pico8</name> <emulators> <emulator name=“lexaloffle”> <cores> <core default=“true”>pico8_official</core> </cores> </emulator> <emulator name=“libretro”> <cores> <core>retro8</core> </cores> </emulator> </emulators> </system> </systemList>

1. The file is called es_systems_pico8.cfg.
2. The.cfg file should be moved to the following location:

• /userdata/system/configs/emulationstation/

1. After inserting the microSD card, switch on your TrimUI Smart Pro.

Windows enjoys doing things and altering files inappropriately. As the Knulli developers noted, the Pico-8 file permissions may have been changed.

1. Ensure you have an SSH client, such as PuTTY, installed on your PC.
2. Turn on the WiFi on your Smart Pro.
3. Under Network Settings, take note of the Hostname.

7. On your PC, launch your SSH client.

9. Put enter the following command:

• chmod +x /userdata/bios/pico-8/pico8

1. EmulationStation should restart.
2. Open the Pico-8 category by navigating to it from the main screen.
3. Hit the "Select" button.
4. Choose Advanced System Settings.
5. Make sure to highlight the Emulator.
6. Cycle through the options with the D-Pad until LEXALOFFLE: PICO8 OFFICIAL is chosen.
7. Press A after scrolling down until "Back" is underlined.
