Shelves

Your games are shown as cartridges, one shelf per system.

The shelves

L1 / R1 move between the shelves, in this order:

  • Game Boy Advance
  • Game Boy
  • Game Boy Color
  • NES
  • Super Nintendo
  • Mega Drive
  • Recents: the games you played last. Shown when Settings → Interface → Recents is on.
  • Favorites: the games you marked with Y, from every system.

A shelf with no games is skipped.

Game Boy Advance Video

Game Boy Advance Video cartridges have their own shelf, behind the GBA shelf. On the GBA shelf, press L2 or R2 to switch to it, and again to come back. Their screen options are explained in Screen, Shaders & Effects.

Browsing

  • ← / → move from one cartridge to the next.
  • ↑ / ↓ jump to the next or previous letter.
  • Y adds the cartridge to Favorites, or removes it.
  • Settings → Interface → Game Titles shows the game's name under the cartridge.

Playing

  • A or the slot. cap inserts the cartridge. If the game was ejected with a save state (see Auto Save on Eject in Settings), it resumes where you left it.
  • Hold A or the slot. cap to start the game fresh, without loading that save state. Your in-game save is not touched.

Choosing a core

Press SELECT on a cartridge to choose the emulation core for this game. The cartridge opens and shows its two chips: pick one with ← / → and press A to keep it. B closes without changing anything.

The default core of each system is set in Settings → Systems → [system] → Default Core. See Cores & Saves.

Editing a cartridge

Press X to open the cartridge in Cart Studio.

Deleting a game

Hold L2 + R2 for about a second and a half. A red ring fills while you hold; let go to cancel. When it's full, the cartridge leaves the shelf and the game file is deleted from your handheld.

Saves and save states are kept.
