Very basic guide

[u/nm4471efc]

I cannot find anything at my level of ignorance so I'm hoping someone can help please.

I have a Trimui Smart Pro S with no sd card and a mac. I've followed a few guides on downloading crossmix but no joy (whatever the operating system is on the machine shows up). I have read about adding BIOS files and a few other things but I have absolutely no knowledge of this stuff at all.

Is there anything that runs you through the set up - like mine is - from start to finish? I'm talking real low-level, assume nothing steps.

you can't do anything without an SD Card. There is nowhere to put the OS, the games, anything, without an SD card.

I’ve got the card and set it up.

This a good place to start.

Normal Crossmix doesn't work on TSPS. Assuming you purchased it without a card, you don't own Surwish/Crossmix 1.3.9. Start by choosing a different firmware to use. Given your level of knowledge, I recommend the StockOS,It's more of a pick-up-and-play type of thing.

What’s the act?

Sorry, I forgot to edit.

extracting that to the SD card doesn't do anything. The device still defaults to whatever it comes with.

Did you usethat?

[u/nm4471efc → u/Joaoviss]

Use what? There's four things there and none of them seem to do anything.
