13. Adding Game Methods
There are multiple ways to add games to your console:
Method 1: Using DiskGenius (Windows)
- Insert the game console's memory card into your computer.
- Open DiskGenius software and ensure it recognizes the memory card.
- Locate the 'roms' folder and place your game files into the appropriate subfolder corresponding to the game's system (e.g., 'roms\psp' for PSP games).
- Safely eject the memory card after transferring files.
Method 2: Direct Copy (Windows 10)
If using the pre-equipped memory card, insert it directly into a Windows 10 computer. Access the 'data mobile hard disk' and copy game files directly into the correct emulator's 'roms' folder.
Method 3: Network Connection
- Connect the console to your network.
- View the device's IP address.
- On your computer, open the resource manager (e.g., File Explorer) and enter the console's IP address in the format `\IP_ADDRESS` (e.g., `\10.10.10.117`) and press Enter.
- If prompted for login, use the default username 'root' and password 'emuelec'.
- Navigate to the 'Storage/Roms' folder. You will find subfolders for various simulators. Copy game files into the corresponding simulator's folder.
Example Folder Structure for Simulators:
Simulator | Corresponding Folder Path |
---|---|
Arcade-FBA | roms\arcade\fba |
Arcade-MAME | roms\arcade\mame2003 |
SNES | roms\nes |
PSP | roms\psp |
PS1 | roms\psx |
NES/FC | roms\nes |
Note: The system identifies games by folder name. Do not alter the directory structure; only copy game files into the correct simulator's folder.
14. Change Game Emulators
If a game does not open or you wish to try a different emulator for it, follow these steps:
Select the game >> Long press the 'B' key >> Navigate to Game settings menu >> Advanced Game Options >> Emulator >> Choose the desired emulator.
