Getting help for a game
Press
8
to view control help for the current game. This will show a diagram
of
THEGAMEPAD
with each button labelled with its function within the game.
Some games have a set of secondary controls (see
). For these games press and hold
R
to show the secondary
control functions of
THEGAMEPAD
buttons.
For games that have support for mouse control, press
X
to toggle between
diagrams of
THEGAMEPAD
and
THEMOUSE
to view the help for each.
Tip: The included games that use a mouse will have the mouse controls
duplicated by
THEGAMEPAD
. This allows the game to be played with
THEGAMEPAD
alone if necessary. Such mouse controls are usually
assigned to the secondary controls of
THEGAMEPAD
.

Exiting and suspending a game
To suspend a game and return to the game carousel, press
H
, or the
power button once. A miniaturised view of the suspended game will appear
floating in the top right corner of the screen.
Tip: Try not to suspend a game while in the middle of an intense action
phase, as this can result in a game that is difficult to play when resumed.
