Hotkey Configuration 

The RetroN 5 allows users to create shortcuts for common features (such as opening the in-game menu, enabling 
fast-forward mode and saving/loading states) which may be activated during game play with a button combination 
on the wired controllers. Select a button combination to activate each of these features during gameplay:

• Controller Used – Indicate what controller you are using.
• In-game menu – Choose a hotkey combination for opening the in-game menu during gameplay.
• Fast Forward – Choose a hotkey combination for fast forwarding gameplay (You can fast forward gameplay 
at any time. The feature speeds up gameplay in order to skip long animations or text conversations in game.).
• Save State – Choose a hotkey combination for save states. (You can store a save state at any time during 
gameplay.) 
• Load Save State – Choose a hotkey combination for loading a save state. (You can load a save state at any time 
during gameplay. The last saved save state will be loaded unless you select another slot in the In-Game Menu.)
• Screenshot – Choose a hotkey combination for screenshots. (You can take a screenshot at any time during 
game play.)

Note: Most of these features are also available for use from within the In-Game Menu at any time during gameplay.
