2. Navigation
Use the directional keys (D-pad) or the left 3D joystick to navigate through menus and game lists. The A, B, X, Y buttons are used for selection, confirmation, and in-game actions. The "Start" and "Select" buttons perform various functions depending on the game or menu context.
3. Playing Games
From the main menu, select an emulator or game category. Browse the list of available games and select one to launch. Follow on-screen prompts or game-specific instructions for gameplay.

Most emulators support in-game saving and loading, as well as "save states" which allow you to save your progress at any point. Refer to the emulator's specific menu (often accessed by a combination of function keys) for these options.

The M27 console supports connection to an external display, such as a TV, for an enhanced gaming experience. Use an appropriate HD cable (not included) to connect the console's HD output port to your TV's input port. Switch your TV's input source to the corresponding HD channel.
