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 "Playing a game" on
page 6). 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
oating 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 dicult to play when resumed.
