Additional features
The controller mode allows using your console as an USB HID controller.
Press START, then select Tools -> Controller mode to activate.
Note that, due to the console’s non-standard button layout, only games and programs which support custom controller button bindings should be expected to work correctly.
| Format | Description |
|---|---|
| .bfb | BootFriend programs1 |
| .bmp | Bitmap images (up to 16 colors, 224x144) |
| .vgm, .vgz | Music files2 |
| .wav | Music files3 |
The Tools -> Launch via XMODEM option allows loading programs via nileswan’s USB port. .ws/.wsc and .bfb programs can be loaded this way.
The protocol used is XMODEM. On Windows, you can use Tera Term to send files via XMODEM; on Linux, minicom and lrzsz are viable solutions.
