The console has 8GB of built-in memory and supports expandable storage up to 32GB via a TF (MicroSD) card. To insert a TF card:

1. Locate the TF card slot on the side of the console (refer to Figure 3.2).
2. Gently insert the TF card into the slot until it clicks into place.

5. Operating Instructions

The X7 Plus features a customized operating system with English as the default language. It includes convenient save and load features for game progress.

5.1 General Navigation

Use the directional pad and analog sticks to navigate through menus and select options. The 'SELECT' and 'START' buttons perform various functions depending on the context.

5.2 Playing Games

The console comes preloaded with approximately 10,000 classic games and supports various game formats including PS1, MAME, FBA, NEOGEO, GBA, GBC, GB, NES, SNES, and MD.

• Accessing Games: Not all games are displayed on the main screen. To view the full library, navigate to the "Games" folder within the system menu.
• Saving/Loading Game Progress: During gameplay, press the 'ESC' button to access the system menu. From this menu, you can save your game state, load a previously saved state, or adjust controls. After making selections, choose "return to game" to continue playing.
• Button Mapping: In the operating system menus, the 'B' button may function as 'A' and 'A' as 'B'. This behavior typically does not apply within games. If a game requires L2/R2 buttons, and the console only has L1/R1, remapping may be necessary within the game's settings or the console's system menu if supported.
