ROMs

MinUI supports many many systems and ROM formats. Check the folders here (base) and here (extras) for a comprehensive list about the indivudual systems. Most supported systems and their ROMS can be automatically sorted by igir using the {minui} output token. See the replaceable tokens page for more information.

MinUI uses the names unter /Roms on the SD card in a more creative way than most other frontends. The folder names consist of a UI name and a PAK name. The UI name is used as the name shown in the User interface as a list item name, while the PAK name controls which software pack is used to open the files within. Files with the same UI name but different PAK name are listed in the same list in the UI but are opened with different PAKs. igir uses the vendor recommendations for the folder names with some exceptions.

MinUI requires multi-file releases to be grouped into subdirectories (bin/cue releases of the PS1 for example). It is recommended to use the --dir-game-subdir multiple option, which is the default at this time.

More details about these features can be found here under the sections Roms and Disc-based games.

Replace the E:\ drive letter with wherever your SD card is:

igir copy extract test clean ^
  --dat "No-Intro*.zip" ^
  --input ROMs\ ^
  --output "E:\roms\{minui}" ^
  --dir-letter ^
  --no-bios

Replace the /Volumes/MinUI drive name with whatever your SD card is named:

igir copy extract test clean \
  --dat "No-Intro*.zip" \
  --input ROMs/ \
  --output "/Volumes/MinUI/roms/{minui}" \
  --dir-letter \
  --no-bios

Replace the /media/MinUI path with wherever your SD card is mounted:

igir copy extract test clean \
  --dat "No-Intro*.zip" \
  --input ROMs/ \
  --output "/media/MinUI/roms/{minui}" \
  --dir-letter \
  --no-bios
