How to Use Collections for Trimui Smart Pro (Stock & Crossmix)
50Collections are a small curated list of games with their own icons and background images.
I'd recommend using collagen to create a collection and then manually make edits.
You can find collagen here: https://github.com/rkr87/CollaGen/releases
Extract the contents and copy it over to the App folder on your Trimui Smart Pro microSD card.
Start the app, create a collection, and press the menu button to exit. Turn the handheld off and insert the microSD card into your PC.
Change the following lines in launch.sh for stock OS (for CrossMix you leave this file alone):
Delete this line:
Launcher=$(jq -r '.launch' "/mnt/SDCARD/Emus/$RomDir/config.json")
Change:
LaunchPath="/mnt/SDCARD/Emus/$RomDir/$Launcher"
to:
LaunchPath="/mnt/SDCARD/Emus/$RomDir/launch.sh"
And then it should work for stock OS.
You can add your own bg, icon, and icon selected images and edit the config.json file to reflect those changes.
You can also manually add or remove games. Just simply add the corresponding system folders if they don't exist, create a text file with the name of the game, and inside that text file write the full address of the rom file, i.e. /mnt/SDCARD/Roms/GBA/SomeGame.zip
Once back on the handheld, press the menu button and select refresh roms to make sure any changes to the rom list is refreshed and you should be good to go now!
