*Copy game roms files (ex., .d88 (.D88 is OK, too), .hdi) to the np2 directory.
*When there is the /np2 directory in both SD card and USB storage, the files in SD card are given to priority.


When there is the /np2 directory in both SD card and USB storage, the files in SD card are given to priority.
'''Note:''' np21.dol emulates 80386 CPU while the np2 emulates 80286 CPU. The np21 may execute some games that cannot be executed by np2.


== How to use ==
==User guide==
The on-off of the main menu is toggled by pressing wiimote plus button when pointing monitor.
How to run a game:
*Bring up the menu with the Wiimote Plus button.
*Click FDD1 > Open menu, and select a game.
*Next, select the Emulate > Reset menu.


Select the FDD1->Open menu, and select a game.
