  • Starting a Game: Select a game and press the 'A' button (or equivalent) on the gamepad to launch it.
  • Saving Game Progress: Most emulators within EmuELEC support save states. Refer to the in-game menu (often accessed by pressing a combination of buttons like SELECT + START) for options to save or load game progress.
  • Adding Games: The console supports adding additional games. This typically involves connecting the TF card to a computer, transferring ROM files to the appropriate emulator folders, and then reinserting the card into the console. Ensure ROMs are in compatible formats.

Android 11.0 (Smart TV System)

  • Navigation: Use the remote control or a connected mouse/keyboard for navigation within the Android interface.
  • Applications: Access pre-installed applications or download new ones from the app store.

  • Configuration: Configure network shares or external storage devices within CoreELEC settings to access your media library.

Wireless Controllers

  • Power On/Off: Press the central button on the gamepad to power it on. It will automatically connect to the console if previously paired.
