Important Information

Bios files

• Bios files are essential for some systems, should be named exactly as stated below and placed in the root /BIOS folder, unless otherwise indicated in a specific systems notes further below. Bios file names and extensions are case sensitive!

Rom files

• All rom folder names are case sensitive
• The roms on the included TrimUI SD Card are a mixed bag which can lead to incompatibility with some emulators. It is highly recommended to source your own roms to get the most out of the device.
• Rom folder names are case sensitive and differ in CrossMix-OS vs the Stock TrimUI SD Card, copy your roms from system to system if coming from stock (copying the ‘Roms’ folder wholesale from the TrimUI SD card will not fully work).
• Subfolders can be used inside your rom folders but ONLY one level deep (i.e. Roms/GB/Hacks).
• Subfolders cannot have an apostrophe (') in the name.
• If you add new roms to a system, press MENU › Refresh Roms.
• To add a game to your Favorites list, highlight the game in the game list and press MENU › Add favorites.

Arcade Systems

Arcade emulation is a little more complex than your typical console emulation and includes MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) along with CPS1/2/3 (Capcom Play System), SNK Neo Geo (released both as an Arcade cabinet and Home Console), FB (Final Burn) and Daphne.

While MAME supports many classic arcade games, for best compatibility and performance, it is recommended to use the CPS and Neo Geo systems (which use dedicated & customised emulators) for those particular games and MAME (or FB) for everything else.

Both MAME and FB require your romsets to be matched exactly to the emulator version so you will need to source the recommended romsets. MAME romsets are not compatible with FB cores (and vice versa) and not every game in a full romset will be playable but the majority will be.

Arcade roms in general do not play well with save states (some will work but the majority don’t), so auto-loading of save states has been disabled. You can triggers it manually by pressing SELECT + L2 with more chance of success than auto-loading.

MAME and FB both rely on internal databases to translate the rom file name into the displayed game name, some games may be missing from the db.

For more detailed information and tips on Arcade emulation, checkout the awesome Ultimate Miyoo Mini Arcade Guide initially made by lordelan for Onion.

Arcade emulators are integrated in CrossMix as follows:

Arcade folder names and Cores Available in CrossMix-OS

Folder name	Cores available
MAME2003PLUS	Mame 2003 Plus (0.78plus) / Mame 2003
MAME2010	Mame 2010 (0.139)
MAME	Mame (0.259) / Mame (0.219) / Mame 2000 (0.37b5) / Mame 2015 (0.160) / Mame 2016 (0.174)
FBNEO	FBNEO / FB Alpha
MESS 2015	Not created, could be interesting for advanced retrogamers with rare platforms

Analysis:

Mame 2003 Plus should cover most of the expectations of the arcade game fans.

FBNeo/FBalpha will be a great complement for fighting games fans and Netplay/multiplayer

Mame is the most recent version, it could be interesting for its wide compatibility (to test more recent games or old exotic systems) but it could be slow on the TSP.

Others Mame versions (2000,2010,2015,2016) are probably less interesting but sometimes some users find something particular in these versions that they are looking for.

Mess is really powerful to emulate a ton of different old systems but it's an emulator hard to setup.

Arcade (Default) ✔

Alternative emulators available in Expert Emulator: lr-mame2003plus Required rom set version: MAME 2003-Plus Reference: Full Non-Merged Romsets Rom Folder: ARCADE Extensions: .zip Bios: pgm.zip (for PGM games only like Knights of Valour and DoDonPachi) Samples: Audio Samples for Mame2003Plus should be placed in the /BIOS/mame2003-plus/samples folder Notes MAME 2003-Plus (mame078plus) is part of a lineage of codebase forks and ports: this core was forked from MAME 2003, which is itself derived from Xmame 0.78, the X11/Unix port of MAME 0.78. Internally using the name “mame078plus”, MAME2003plus is an old version of MAME that became the “golden standard” for a while. A mixture of being easy to run while supporting the most hardware. Many ROMs, especially newer > systems, have known issues with this version. The “plus” version has had recent developments that don't break compatibility backported from newer versions of MAME. For this reason, regular MAME2003 ROMs may not work in this version. The ROMset for this version may be referred to as “078plus” Notes about save states MAME does not play well with save states this is a core issue and cannot be fixed. It is recommended to disable 'auto-loading of save states' in the Retroarch menu (and save core overrides). An onscreen message saying ‘This Game Will Not Work’ is MAME letting you know that the game is not emulated in the MAME version and you will not find a compatible/playable rom for that game. Current/modern versions of MAME are not compatible with the Miyoo Minis limited hardware specification which is why MAME 2003Plus has been chosen as the default. Check out the MAME overview video by RetroBreeze.

Arcade - MAME (mame0.219) ⚠

Emulator: lr-mame Rom Folder: MAME Extensions: .zip .7z Notes The latest libretro MAME version compiled (0.219 on the TSP) best compatibility but more ressource demanding than older versions of Mame (a lot slower than 2003+ for example).

Arcade - MAME2010 (mame0139)

Emulator: lr-mame2010 Rom Folder: MAME2010 Extensions: .zip .7z Notes A “middle-ground” version that is still fast enough to be run on weak hardware while having more modern compatibility than 2003 Plus. Internally using the name “mame0139”, MAME 2010 is an old version of MAME that's a halfway point of being fast while still having a large library. It should not be used on the weaker device. The ROMset for this version may be referred to as “0.139”.

See this link for more information. SELECT toggles the onscreen keyboard, L & R are mapped to the mouse buttons. This emulator will play Amiga CD32 games though some perform better than others. Setting CPU speed to -700 (negative 700) in the Retroarch menu may improve A1200/CD32 performance. Other Core Settings that might be useful for some games are frameskip set to 1, or setting off the blitter wait in Video options. Some games will have stuttering audio or behave very slowly regardless of the CPU speed, frameskip etc. Many of these games will work fine if you find another format for them. .hdf (hard disk files) are the most problematic. .adf or .lha games usually work better although you might have to open RA options to switch or add floppy disks when required. If you find a game that won't run correctly no matter the options you set for it, simply try to find another version in another format.

I suggest using .p roms and .zip files with .p roms in them based on my testing. Many games can be started by pressing SELECT to bring up the virtual keyboard, press R then RETURN. Otherwise, you'll need to search online on how to load these games if you're not familiar with this system.

SNK - Neo Geo

Emulator: lr_fbalpha2012_neogeo Required ROM Version: "FBA Arcade Set v0.2.97.29 for FBA 2012 libretro" (search with quotes for exact match) Alternative ROM Pack: "Neo-Geo Rom Collection By Ghostware" (search with quotes for exact match) Rom Folder: NEOGEO Extensions: .zip (must be lowercase) Bios: neogeo.zip Notes UniBIOS can be used but v4.0 can lead to missing or corrupted audio when used with save states. Earlier UniBIOS version are OK. Because Neo Geo roms can come in different formats (split or non-merged), it's recommended to keep the 'neogeo.zip' bios in both the /BIOS folder and the /Roms/NEOGEO folder to ensure best compatibility. For best game compatibility, seek out the recommended romset above. Alternative romsets for Final Burn cores may be largely compatible (i.e. v0.2.97.24, v0.2.97.39, v0.2.97.40, v0.2.97.44). Check out the NeoGeo overview video by RetroBreeze. Geolith / GnGeo The GnGeo is an AES/MVS Neo Geo emulator (without NG-CD support) based of MAME ROMsets. This emulator natively supported GNO files. The reason why this release of gngeo is useful is because of loading times. Tested a few big games like kof2000 and found that it took just a few seconds instead of 45 seconds. The framerate is also very good. CrossMix will automatically choose GnGeo core when you select a .geo rom file. For more information information about GnGeo compatibility list : TriForceX/MiyooCFW

Earlier UniBIOS version are OK. Because Neo Geo roms can come in different formats (split or non-merged), it's recommended to keep the 'neogeo.zip' bios in both the /BIOS folder and the /Roms/NEOGEO folder to ensure best compatibility.

Sony - PlayStation

Alias: PS, PS1, PSX Emulator: lr-pcsx-rearmed Recommended Romset: "files for CHD-PSX-USA" Rom Folder: PS Extensions: .chd .pbp .bin/.cue .img .mdf .toc .cbn .m3u .ccd (must be lowercase) Bios: PSXONPSP660.bin, scph101.bin, scph7001.bin, scph5501.bin, scph1001.bin Important: Roms in .bin format must have accompanying .cue files or they will not be displayed. CrossMix can generate .cue files automatically (System Tools > TOOLS > CUE - Generator). Alternatively, you can create .cue files using a free online tool such as cue-maker. All Bios files are 512kb in size and are case sensitive, they must be named exactly as shown above. Using the PSXONPSP660.bin bios is recommended for best compatibility. If you experience issues loading games, you can use md5 checker to verify your bios files against the md5sum provided in the official core documentation. Notes Rewind and Fast Forward capability should be disabled while playing PSX as performance may suffer greatly. PAL/EUR games run at 50fps, NTSC/USA/JP games run at 60fps. This is by design and as per original hardware. Some titles (e.g. Looney Tunes Sheep Rider, Jedi Power Battles, and 2xtreme/espn extreme games) need to have SMC Checks disabled or games will eventually slow down and crash. Go to RetroArch Quick Menu (MENU+SELECT while in-game), select Options and toggle on (Speed Hack) Disable SMC Checks. Check out the PlayStation overview video by RetroBreeze.
