Step 1. Copy "dmenu.bin" to the root of the MISC partition of the SD card that goes in the TF1 slot.
Step 2. Where you copy "MinUI.zip" will depend on if you are using one or two SD cards (using two SD cards is recommended). If using one SD card, copy "MinUI.zip" to the root of the ROMS partition of the SD card that goes in the TF1 slot. Otherwise copy "MinUI.zip" to the root of the SD card that goes in the TF2 slot.
During installation (but not on subsequent updates) MinUI will install a custom boot logo. It will save a backup of your existing "boot_logo.bmp.gz" in a folder named "bak" at the root of the ROMS partition of the SD card that goes into the TF1 slot.

Included in this zip is a Roms folder containing folders for each console MinUI currently supports. You can rename these folders but you must keep the uppercase tag name in parentheses in order to retain the mapping to the correct emulator (eg. "Nintendo Entertainment System (FC)" could be renamed to "Nintendo (FC)", "NES (FC)", or "Famicom (FC)").
You should probably preload these folders with roms and copy each one to the Roms folder on your SD card before installing. Or not, I'm not the boss of you.
You can (and probably should) preload these folders with roms and copy each one to the Roms folder on your SD card before installing.
When one or more folder share the same display name (eg. "Game Boy Advance (GBA)" and "Game Boy Advance (MGBA)") they will be combined into a single menu item containing the roms from both folders (continuing the previous example, "Game Boy Advance"). This allows opening specific roms with an alternate pak.

Thanks
To BlackSeraph, for sharing his modified uImage which provides overclocking (and underclocking) and increases the available framebuffer memory.
To eggs, for his NEON scalers, years of top-notch example code, and patience in the face of my endless questions.

To neonloop, for putting together the Trimui toolchain from which I learned everything I know about docker and buildroot and is the basis for every toolchain I've put together since, and for picoarch, the inspiration for minarch.

And to Jim Gray, for commiserating during development, for early alpha testing, and for providing the soundtrack for much of MinUI's development.
