# Install FinUI #

#################
|
|
|
|
1. Connect your microSD card to your Mac
|
|
|
|
2. Start the app "Terminal"
|
|
|
|
3. Run the command "diskutil list" and identify your microSD by looking at the "SIZE" column. It is
|
|
"/dev/disk4" in this example.
|
|
|
|
4. Run the command "diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4"
|
|
|
|
5. Unzip the RG35XX firmware to your desktop and then run the command "cd ~/Desktop"
|
|
|
|
6. Run the command "sudo dd bs=1m if=35XX-64GB230309EN.IMG of=/dev/disk4" to flash the firmware onto
|
|
your microSD. Enter your user account password if prompted. Wait.
|
|
|
|
7. Run the command "diskutil list" again and identify the largest partition on your microSD by
|
|
looking at the "SIZE" column. It is "/dev/disk4s4" in this example. Note that this path differs from
|
|
the previous path!
|
|
|
|
8. Run the command "sudo diskutil eraseVolume FAT32 ROMS /dev/disk4s4" to format that partition as
|
|
"FAT32" with the name "ROMS". Enter your user account password if prompted. Wait.
|
|
|
|
9. You should now have a "misc" and a "ROMS" disk connected to your Mac. If you do not then try to
|
|
reconnect your microSD.
|
|
|
|
10. Unzip the FinUI release to your desktop
|
|
|
|
11. From the release, copy "dmenu.bin" to the root of the "misc" disk. Then copy "MinUI.zip" and the
|
|
"Bios", "Emus", "Roms", "Saves", "Tools" folders to the root of the "ROMS" disk.
|
|
|
|
12. Finally, to clean up you microSD, run the following commands:
|
|
|
|
dot_clean -m /Volumes/misc
|
|
dot_clean -m /Volumes/ROMS
|
|
rm -fr /Volumes/misc/.fseventsd /Volumes/misc/.Spotlight-V100 /Volumes/misc/.Trashes
|
|
rm -fr /Volumes/ROMS/.fseventsd /Volumes/ROMS/.Spotlight-V100 /Volumes/ROMS/.Trashes
|
|
|
|
Done. Insert your microSD to your RG35XX and boot it up!
