Profiles

A profile is a self-contained setup for the game. Each one keeps its own:

  • ROM and language
  • Save data of every kind
  • Display, gameplay, and audio settings
  • Control bindings
  • MSU music-pack choice

Creating a profile

  1. Open the title-bar menu → Data → Profiles.
  2. Choose Create Profile and give it a name.
  3. Pick a ROM (import one first if you haven't).
  4. Choose a language.

Using a different profile

There's no live profile switch while you're playing. To use another profile, stop the game, open the title-bar menu → Data → Profiles, and pick or create one there. The app remembers the profile you used last and reopens it the next time you launch.

What profiles are good for

  • Casual vs. speedrun: different bindings and HUD for each.
  • Different languages: an English profile and a French one sharing the same ROM.
  • MSU experiments: try music packs without touching your main setup.

Isolation

Profiles never affect each other. Settings, save files, quick saves, and auto-saves all stay within the profile they belong to.

Deleting a profile

Deleting a profile removes its saves, settings, and bindings. The imported ROM stays, since ROMs are shared across profiles.
