• Power Off: It is recommended to shut down the system properly to prevent data corruption. Navigate to the system menu (usually accessible via the remote or a specific controller button) and select the 'Shutdown' or 'Power Off' option. Avoid simply unplugging the power cable.

5.2. Switching Between Systems

The Super Console X4 Plus allows you to switch between EmuELEC, Android, and CoreE. The method for switching typically involves:

• From EmuELEC to Android/CoreE: Access the EmuELEC menu, usually by pressing the 'START' button on the game controller, then select 'Quit' or 'System Settings' and choose to boot into Android or CoreE.
• From Android/CoreE to EmuELEC: Look for an application or shortcut on the Android/CoreE home screen labeled 'EmuELEC' or 'Games' to launch the gaming system.

• Adding Games: The console supports adding your own game ROMs. This usually involves connecting the TF card to a computer, transferring game files to the appropriate emulator folders, and then reinserting the card into the console.
