  • The TrimUI Smart Pro is a new budget retro gaming handheld that looks just like a PS Vita 2. However are the PS Vita similarities more than skin deep and is this budget retro handheld one of the best retro handhelds of 2024?

    Great video! Btw it's not Tree-moo-ee, it's Trim UI as in a a Trimmed User Interface. The reason Mario won't go in Mario Kart is because somewhere in the chain, something is detecting a pirated game. Many DS games used that mechanism.

    • @seanbrent4245

      For me It was more so just a back up for button combos due to the button placement of start and select in Retroarch. Normally I’d press Select + another button for hotkeys, but then when those aren’t in a good spot I’d use the L3 click + another button for hotkeys.

    • @EatMe420
      @EatMe420 Před 5 měsíci

      @seanbrent4245 I couldn't disagree more. Tue best solution I see for you is stop making pointless hot keys. The systems this can play used so few buttons. Youa already have a button layout we would have killed for in the 80s and early 90s.

    I want one, every time I'm thinking how awesome will be for Sony to launch a modern PSP, this little console is looking similar to my fav console of all time, I hope they will make a V2 with OLED screen instead of IPS, when I'm dreaming about PSP I'm dreaming about a one with OLED screen but Sony will never launch one :c

    • @Max_Immersion
      @Max_Immersion Před 15 dny

      A way to prevent this is to assign silent mode to the fn key. If you enable this and turn the key on (push it right), the hissing will stop. However, you obviously will not have sound.

    What things will make this device great
    - Better CPU to run smooth everything
    - More RAM
    - More Storage than 256GB
    - OLED Screen
    - Bluetooth connectivity to connect some AirPods or something similar
    - L3 and R3 on thumbsticks
    - PS2 emulation along with the existing ones right now
    I would've pay more for a console like this one

    I feel like I'm the only one who didn't get the Vertical Shooter and Pokemon "Best" folders. :(
    Anyway, NDS is absolutely rubbish, primarily because the controls just aren't lined up properly (and unlike other emulators) I can't seem to figure out just how TO get them to work properly. :(
    Other than that, the device is great. I've stretched out all the games to full screen, which looks awesome,...even with old GB games! :D

    you just covered positives of the handheld
    1. looks good
    2. lights
    I really fell for the device and ended up ordering x55
    i still feel should have gone for Trimui but, because of several disadvantages you get along with psp vita looking console
    1. largely underpowered can play only till PS1 anything over that is trial by error
    2. no way to hook up on large screen ports/wireless
    3. no Wi-Fi so no retro achievement / scraping /multi player /net play or port master
    4. no Bluetooth so no controller and even no in game multiplayer
    5. screen tearing because of unoptimized UI software
    6. No cfw and never will as creators need a. popularity b. open-source codes, don't know about both as i find very less videos actually covering Trimui
    May be till next time hopefully when some of the points are taken care, if not all.

      This is confusing. You bought an x55 and you are disappointed with several things the trimui can't do? But a lot of the things you say it can't do it actually does? This does do wifi, it does play some Dreamcast, n64 and PSP like the x55 and does do retroachievements. And there is no screen tearing. Maybe you have confused this for something else.

    • @Autotrope
