Product Information

Now that it’s been available for a few months and the software has matured a little, let’s take a proper look at the little gadget. If either the resolution or the actual size was a bit bigger, I think this would become my new standard for playing GBA games. Due to the RetroArch Build used, whatever scaling options you use get applied to all systems making it difficult to optimize per system.

While the device could potentially run some games that need them, just having L1/R1 is sufficient for what most people will play on the device.The Trimui Smart is a new handheld from one of the quieter manufacturers of handheld emulation devices.

Red Ventures has made a deal for Fandom to take over major assets such as Gamespot, TV Guide and Metacritic. This allows you to change multiple settings, including screen ratio, frame-skip, colour correction and even activate cheats if available. He focused his passion in retro gaming and began creating a game for the Game Boy Color while living in Nara, Japan during the 2020 pandemic. There is some light bleed from the top and sides which makes pure black appear grey in places, but it’s acceptable and not really noticeable most of the time. And it also shares a lot in common with the upcoming Retro Pixel Pocket, one I’ve been eager to get my hands on.The big selling point is the simplicity, size for micro game handheld enthusiasts and the fact that the screen does not have Ghosting or Screen tear issues that nearly all other micro devices have.

One of my favourite games is Advance Wars for the GBA, and I was so pleased to see it included in the playlist. The construction consists of a metal back plate (available in a few different colours) and a transparent plastic face plate that also serves as the lens for the LCD. The only slight bit of slowdown that I came across was when playing the PS1 game Bloody Roar, but this was to be expected, and it wasn’t enough to make the game unplayable.There is also a small speaker on the right, just below the face buttons, as well as a micro SD card slot, USB-C charging port and a very small On/Off switch. The TRIMUI Smart is an interesting and unique micro retro game handheld from the same team that designed the TRIMUI Model S. There’s still something to be said for neat little handhelds like these that can be tucked away in your pocket before heading out. The domestic version has an option under Settings to change themes while people receiving the international version don't have the same options. One of my favourite arcade games is Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, and this also played very well on the SMART.
