Game Switcher

Tap SELECT anywhere in the menus to open the Game Switcher — a full-screen carousel of your recent games that resumes any of them instantly.

Game Switcher

The top shows the game's name, its system and its place in the list ("Game Boy Advance 1 / 12"). The line at the bottom shows when you last played it, your total play time and your achievement progress. With nothing played yet, the switcher says Nothing played yet.

Always resumable

Quitting a game auto-saves to a hidden save slot. The Game Switcher always resumes exactly where you left off, with no manual save states needed. This works on the built-in cores, Dreamcast included, and Nintendo 64.

Games without a save state show their box art instead, so the switcher stays visual even for freshly added titles.

Resumable-only by default

By default the switcher lists only resumable games. To see all recent games, set Game Switcher games in Settings → System to All recent games.
