Setup
1. Installing Batteries in the Wireless Controller
Locate the battery compartment on the back of the wireless controller. Insert the required batteries (typically AA or AAA) ensuring correct polarity (+/-). Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Connecting the HDMI Wireless Dongle
- Plug the Pac-Man Flashback Blast! HDMI wireless dongle directly into an available HDMI port on your television or monitor.
- Connect the USB power cable to the dongle.
- Plug the other end of the USB power cable into a USB port on your television or a compatible USB power adapter (not included). Ensure the power source provides sufficient power for the dongle to operate.
It is recommended to use a dedicated USB power adapter if your TV's USB port does not provide stable power, or if the provided cable is too short for your setup.

Operating Instructions
1. Game Selection
Upon successful setup, the main menu will display the list of 8 built-in classic games. Use the directional pad (D-pad) on the wireless controller to navigate through the game titles and the action buttons to select a game.
2. Gameplay
Each game utilizes the wireless controller's D-pad for movement and the action buttons for specific in-game actions (e.g., shooting, jumping, eating dots). Familiarize yourself with the controls for each game as you play.
3. Saving and Loading Games
The system supports saving and loading game progress. Specific instructions for saving and loading will typically be available within the game's menu or by pressing a designated button on the controller (e.g., a 'Menu' or 'Pause' button, if present). Look for on-screen prompts.
4. Exiting a Game
To return to the main game selection menu, press the designated 'Menu' or 'Home' button on the controller. If no such button is apparent, some systems require powering off and on, or a specific button combination (e.g., holding a button for several seconds).
