S aving Games
No one wants to play Final Fantasy in one sitting, so the ability to save games is crucial. If the original
game had a save feature, it will work just like it did on the cartridge or disc. The only caveat is that you
need to make sure the save game file is written to the SD card correctly. The best way to do this is to do a
clean shutdown or reboot after saving and exiting the game. Do this by going to the Main Screen, pressing
Start, then Quit, then Shutdown or Restart. If you simply power off the system after exiting, you risk losing
the save game because it wasn’t written correctly. Also, you risk corrupting the data on the SD card.
Most other systems also have a Quick Save and Load feature, which saves the game in the exact state you
are currently in. o do a Quick Save, hold the Select button and press the Right Shoulder button. To load the
last quick save state, hold Select and press the Left Shoulder button. This is a great feature for long games
that did not originally have a save feature, like Super Mario 3 and the first 2 Sonic games.

Themes are a great way to change the look and feel of the Retro Box Interface. There are dozens
available. There are themes for smaller displays, monochrome themes, and various themes devoted to
specific TV shows, comic book characters, and even themes to mimic the UI of other gaming systems, like
the Switch or Amiga computer. For a fill list of themes, go to A1111.

C lassic Computers
In addition to all the coolest consoles, the Retro Box can also emulate, and play games from, a number of
classic computers, such as the Commodore 64, Amiga, Apple II and even MS-DOS. I don’t offer those on
my for sale units, because in order to play those games, you have to know how to use those old
