- Starting a Game: Select a game and press the designated action button (usually 'A' or 'X') to launch it.
- Saving/Loading Game Progress: Most emulators allow you to save and load game states. Typically, this is accessed via a hotkey combination on the controller (e.g., SELECT + R2) or through the in-game menu. Refer to the EmuELEC documentation for specific hotkey configurations.
