Extras

Loading programs via USB

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.

Controller mode

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.
