I struggled a bit getting this to run on my Trimui so I thought this might be helpful for others.

Even though these instructions are based on my installation using a Trimui Sport Pro I hope that maybe they are universal enough to be useful for owners of other devices.

ABOUT UFO 50

Released in September this year, UFO 50 has been quite the sensation with players loving both the concept (50 games all created by a small fictitious studio that span RPG, shooters, jumping games, etc, etc) - it also sports a very competitive Achievement system where you try to get all 100 Stars from playing the games.

That - and the games are for the most part very enjoyable.

More here: 

Pre-Requisites:

1) You need to already have UFO 50 installed on your computer. These instructions also assume you are using a PC.

2) IMPORTANT: You need the LATEST build/version of UFO 50 this to work.

At the time of writing this, Oct 16, version 1.3.1 (or build 16002665) is, as far as I know, the only one that works.

INSTALLATION

Easier than you may think, once you follow some rather simple steps.

  1. Open up PortMaster on your device and make sure it updates to the latest version.

Then, open up "All Ports" and scroll to "UFO 50" and install it.

(This creates some required files and folders on your microSD card).

  1. Now, pop your microSD card into your computer.

Go to the folder on your computer where UFO 50 is installed and copy ALL the files in that folder (incl any subfolders)

See image:

(the library you want will look something like that - select it all)

  1. Go to the following folder on your microSD card: /Data/ports/ufo50/gamedata folder

Paste the files and subfolders into this folder.

See image:

  1. Take your microSD card out and put it back in your device

Run the PORTS app in the Emulator section and magically you will now see UFO listed.

See image:

  1. Run the game.

It will show you a screen telling you that it will patch the game. Click to proceed one or two screens and then the patching begins.

For the next 15-20 min you will see a screen showing a bunch of files that it's updating.

(I baby-sat it and moved the joystick every 3-4 minutes to keep the device from falling asleep as I wasn't sure what would happen if the device would go into sleep mode during the patching).

See image:

THEN, after 15-20 sweaty minutes...you are rewarded with maybe the best/well curated set of retro-games playable on your handheld device! Good luck getting all the 50 gold medals by completing the game challenges!

TROUBLE-SHOOTING:

  • If the patching fails after a few seconds odds are that you are not using the latest build/version of UFO 50.

Launch the game on your computer and during the first screens the version number will be shown in the lower left corner.

It should be 1.3.1

Good luck!

$120 for a dedicated Tetris handheld... I am disgusted with myself.

Original Title: I'm considering getting the RGB30 but I'm wondering if 4:3 content just takes up 3.5 inches of the 4 inch screen because if it does then there's no reason to not get any of the other 3.5 inch handhelds that look a lot better.

I feel like I just browse the same rom sites and come across the same stuff all the time. Curious how others go about it, would be cool if someone made like a retro game generator based off what you like.

It's small without being uncomfortable to play (unlike the vertical mini devices). It had a fantastic little screen. Super pocketable (especially if you're a cargo pockets girlie). And the design just works for me. I've added it to my everyday carry.

I've been primarily playing GBA on mine lately, and it's a great experience.

I'm not totally in love with any of the CFW options, but with Spruce everything works fine.

Highly recommend. Especially if you can snag one on sale. Worth it for the novelty (which is why I ordered mine in the first place), but you might find yourself enamored like I have.
