Game Detail
The Game Detail page is the hub for a single game. Every action — playing, downloading, customizing controls, applying cheats, managing saves — starts here.

Primary actions
Play
Launches the appropriate emulator. The flow depends on the system:
- DOS / Windows 3.1 / Windows 95 → opens DOS Player
- NES, SNES, MAME, PSX, NDS, … (Libretro-backed) → opens Retro Player
Download
For catalog games whose ROM isn't on the device yet. See Downloading ROMs.
Download Patch
Shown only when a translation or fix patch exists. Download after the base ROM.
Add ROM from Device
Opens the SAF file picker so you can attach your own file to this catalog entry. Useful if you have a higher-quality dump of a game already in the library.
Save slots
A horizontal list of save slots appears below the primary actions. Each slot card shows a timestamp, optional thumbnail, and a context menu (Load / Delete). See Save & Load Workflow for the full lifecycle.
Controls section
Per-game shortcuts to control editors:
- Edit Keypad (DOS) — see Virtual Keypad
- Edit Keypad (Arcade) — same page, Arcade variant
- Edit VPad — see VPad V1 / V2
- Edit Virtual Keyboard — see Virtual Keyboard
- Configure Input — physical gamepad bindings, see Physical Gamepad
- Edit Cheats — see Cheats
Game info
Cover art, title, system, manufacturer, year, genre, description, and tags. Each genre/manufacturer/year is a tappable link that opens Search with that filter pre-applied.
ROM language
Some games ship in multiple languages. If alternate language ROMs are available (romEn, romJa, romKo, romFr, romDe, romEs, romIt, romZh), you can choose which one to play from a dropdown.
Core selection (per-game)
If the system supports multiple emulator cores (NES, NDS, 3DS, PSX, MAME, …), a Core dropdown lets you pick which to use for this game specifically. The choice is remembered. See Supported Consoles for which systems offer this.
Related games
A horizontal scroller at the bottom suggests similar titles (same genre/manufacturer/series). Tap any card to jump to its Game Detail page.
YouTube preview
When a game has a curated YouTube clip, a video thumbnail appears in the info area. Tap to open the in-app YouTube player.
