Preparation
When you receive the product for the first time, the Go-Play App is basically written. So you can play games right away after you put the ROM on your SD card.
Play games
Write the other Applications (MicroPython, Doom, Arduino)
Firmware Update
Advanced
Go-Play
There are currently six emulators available.
Game Boy (GB), Game Boy Color (GBC), Game Gear(GG), Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Sega Master System (SMS), ColecoVision (COL)

Trouble shooting: Force exit emulator or recover from a non-responsive emulator
When emulator keeps crashing due to the ROM compatibility issue, there is no display on the screen even though the LCD backlit is on.
In that case, you have to use “Menu” button to exit.
Power Switch Off, Hold Menu, Power switch On, Release Menu when Main Menu appears
