Emulator options

• STRETCH - Stretch the display vertically to fit the whole screen area

Render let you choose the Display Rendering mode:

• ORIGINAL - Use the original PC-Engine rendering mode (240p). In this mode, games should look exactly as they did on the real hardware. Be aware that this mode might not being compatible with HDTV and the component cable.
• INTERLACED - Vertically scales (using hardware filtering features) the original display to a 480 lines interlaced display. In this mode, because of the higher resolution, games generally look better than on the real hardware but some artifacts might appear during intensive and fast action.
• PROGRESSIVE - Switch the rendering to Progressive Video Mode (480p), only set when component cable is detected.

This let you save & load the content of the system internal battery which is used by some games to save your progress.

Important:

• When using NGC Memory Card in SLOTA, some mounting errors may occur. In this case, remove and insert the Memory Card again before trying to save/load anything.
• When using FA devices, the directory /hugo/saves is automatically created.
