If the B or MENU buttons are pressed, the user is returned to the MinUI game selection screen. Settings are managed on a per-game basis, and can be saved for future gameplay, or the game can be started with the current settings as is.
To start a game in this menu, press the X button. Any settings currently selected will be used for the game session.
Settings in this menu can be saved by selecting Save settings for game and pressing the A button. This will save the settings and bring the user back to the menu. The X button can be pressed to start the game.
This pak also ships with some default Flycast settings. Users may edit these settings in the in-emulator settings menu, and they will persist across game sessions. To reset these settings to the ones shipped with Flycast, select Re-apply default flycast settings and press the A button.

In addition to in-game saves, this pak supports a single save state. Save states are stored in $SDCARD_PATH/.userdata/shared/DC-flycast
Screenshots are written to /Screenshots with a sanitized version of the rom name as the screenshot prefix.
Built-in MinUI cores have support for turning off the display and eventually shutting down when the power button is pressed. Standalone emulators do not have this functionality due to needing support inside of the console for this. At this time, this pak does not implement sleep mode.
To enable debug logging, create a file named debug in $SDCARD_PATH/.userdata/$PLATFORM/DC-flycast folder. Logs will be written to the$SDCARD_PATH/.userdata/$PLATFORM/logs/ folder.
