Where Does MinUI Store ROMs and Saves?
MinUI keeps a minimal SD layout with ROMs per system, saves beside them, and almost no settings to lose. Copy the card to back up everything.
Last updated
MinUI is deliberately tiny: a fast-booting system with per-system ROM folders, automatic saves, and barely any settings surface. The SD card holds everything personal in plain view.
That minimalism makes backups trivial: copy the card and every game plus save travels. Resume points and runtime settings reset freely since there is almost nothing to configure. Exact folder names may vary by version, so follow the release readme when layouts shift. Power off from the menu, never the switch, to protect saves.

Frequently asked questions
How do I update MinUI?
Copy the whole card to a computer before updating, then write the new release and restore ROMs and saves. MinUI updates replace the system cleanly by design. Keep the previous card until the new build proves stable.
Where do ROMs and saves go?
Drop ROMs in the per-system Roms folders with BIOS files where the readme says. Saves land next to their games automatically. Scraping stays minimal by philosophy; short names display best.
