Other Systems
The systems without a page of their own play as you would expect. This page
lists each one's folder, core and BIOS, and the controls that do something
more than the console's own pad. File types are on
ROM File Formats.
No BIOS files are included
BIOS files are copyrighted and do not ship with NX Redux. The Bios
folders are created empty. Dump the files you need from your own
hardware. File names must match exactly.
Button tables name the device buttons by the letter printed on the cap, as
they work under the default Nintendo
Button Layout. With the Xbox layout, each
assignment moves with its letter. Remap anything in the in-game menu under
Options → Controls.

A Turbo, B Turbo and Insert Coin have no button out of the box on
either. On the NES, Change Disk and Insert Disk are unbound too.
Flipping disk sides
Many FDS games ask you to flip the disk partway through ("Set side B"), for
example when you start a new game or load a save. To flip to side B, press
R1 (eject), L1 (side B), then R1 (insert). A game on more than one disk
card steps through every side in order (disk 1 side A, side B, disk 2
side A…).
Keep shortcuts off L1 and R1 in FDS
The disk buttons work without MENU, so a
shortcut on the same button does
both. A fast-forward shortcut on R1 also ejects the disk, and the game
then sits on its loading screen as if fast-forward had stopped working.
Bind FDS shortcuts to another button or a MENU + button combination, or
move Change Disk / Insert Disk under
Options → Controls.
Stuck on a loading screen? Press R1 once to put the disk back in.

Genesis Plus GX |
Sega CD: required, the same three files in Bios/GPGX/ |
PicoDrive is the default and the lighter of the two. To use Genesis Plus GX,
name a Roms folder with the (GPGX) tag, for example
Sega Genesis (GPGX).
More detail: Genesis Plus GX
A single GPGX tag, pak and core plays Genesis/Mega Drive, Master System,
Game Gear, SG-1000 and Sega CD. It picks the system from each ROM's
file extension.
That also lets RetroAchievements identify
every game with the correct console, so you can keep all your Sega games
under (GPGX) folders.
Because they share one tag, GPGX saves, BIOS, cheats and overlays all
live under the GPGX name (e.g. Sega CD BIOS goes in Bios/GPGX/, not
Bios/SEGACD/).
Controls
Genesis, Sega CD and 32X games get the six-button pad. The top row sits on
