UNBOXING YOUR CONTROLLER

STEP 1: Carefully unpack your arcade control board. If you use a utility knife, please make 

sure you do not damage any part of the product when unpacking. 

STEP 2: Once unpacked, attach your controller to your 32” Xtension Arcade cabinet or 

Pedestal and secure with the 4 - 60mm black bolts using the Allen wrench that was included 

with your cabinet. If you did not order an Xtension Arcade cabinet, you will not need the 4 - 

60mm black bolts.

STEP 3: Your Xtension Emulator Edition Controller has 1 USB cable.  Plug your USB cable into 

your PC, Mac or Raspberry pi and turn on your computer or pi. Your LED Menu buttons will 

turn on and are powered by the USB input of your PC, Mac or Raspberry pi.

3 SWITCHABLE MODES

There are 3 different switchable gameplay modes for your controller. You can switch between 

the 3 available modes by simply holding down player 1 start and an additional assigned 

mode button for 10 seconds. That’s it!  After 10 seconds, release both buttons and wait up to 

30 seconds for the desired mode to take effect.  The assigned mode will save and open when 

restarting your system.

Your 3 mode options are Keyboard ModeD-Input and X-Input. The controller will normally 

ship with Keyboard mode defaulted . You can change to your desired mode without any 3rd 

party software or firmware update. Use Keyboard Mode for Trackball use. 

NOTE: The menu names labeled on the controller’s graphic are only for Keyboard Mode.

See the helpful video linked below on how to switch modes.

KEYBOARD MODE

Keyboard Mode is best used for PC Emulators , MAME and popular front end software like 

Hyperspin and Launchbox. The Menu buttons functionality is VERY important for emulation 

and navigation with PC emulators and front end software. Keyboard mode is the only 

mode where you can access this full menu navigation feature and we highly recommend 

this mode for use with PC Emulators, MAME, Hyperspin, LaunchBox and most PC arcade 

front end software. The Keyboard mode is defaulted to the popular MAME software and we 

recommend mapping all of your emulators to Keyboard mode when using a PC.
