7. Troubleshooting

Q: Why can't I open some games?

A: If certain games fail to open, it might be due to a mismatch between the game and the emulator core. After selecting the game, long-press the 'A/B' key on your controller to enter the menu. Select 'Advanced Game Settings' and try changing the emulator core until the game functions correctly.

Q: Why is there a black screen for a few seconds when I quit a game?

A: This is a normal system behavior. The console needs to reload the game interface after exiting a game, which may cause a brief black screen. Please wait a few seconds for the interface to reappear.

Q: Can I upload new games?

A: While the console is designed to support a vast library of games, this manual does not cover the process of uploading new games. Please refer to online resources or the manufacturer's support for advanced customization.

8. User Tips

• Always protect the game card, especially when switching between EmuELEC and Android systems, as it contains critical game data.
• If you encounter issues with specific games, remember to try changing the emulator core in the 'Advanced Game Settings' menu.
• The console supports saving game progress, allowing you to pick up where you left off in your favorite retro titles.
