Installation Guide for Leaf

This guide will help you install Grout on the Miniloong Pocket 1 running Leaf.

Tested Devices

Manufacturer Device
Miniloong Pocket 1 (MLP1)

Prerequisites

  • A Miniloong Pocket 1 running Leaf
  • Device connected to a Wi-Fi network (Settings → Network)

Installation Steps

  1. Download the latest Grout release for Leaf.
  2. Unzip the downloaded archive.
  3. Copy the Grout.pak folder into Apps/mlp1/ on your SD card, so that Grout ends up in Apps/mlp1/Grout.pak/.
  4. Put the card back in the console, run Rescan Library from the launcher's MENU (or reboot), and launch Grout from the Apps tab.

Install location

Leaf only lists apps under Apps/mlp1/. A Grout.pak copied straight into Apps/ will not show up.

Second SD card

For now Grout only manages the primary card (TF1, the one Leaf boots from). Games and saves on a second card in TF2 are not handled yet.

Enable RTC for save sync support

  1. Open Settings on your device
  2. Set the correct date and time
  3. (recommended) Stay connected to Wi-Fi so the clock stays in sync

Update

Grout has a built-in update mechanism. To update Grout, launch the application and navigate to the Settings menu. From there, select Check for Updates. If a new version is available, follow the on-screen prompts to download and install the update.

Manual update

To update Grout, download the latest release and copy its Grout.pak folder into Apps/mlp1/ again. Be sure to keep the config.json file in Apps/mlp1/Grout.pak/ if you do not want to authenticate again and configure platform folder mappings again.

Next Steps

After installation is complete, check out the User Guide to learn how to use Grout.
