• Select 'Play Game' to play The game can be exited any time by pressing X and Y together on a GC pad or Classic Controller, 1 and 2 together on a Wiimote (only with Nunchuck attached), or the reset button (Note: this must be done to save your game; it will not be done automatically)

Controls:

• Controls are now fully configurable so any button on your controller can be mapped
• The controller configuration screen presents each N64 button and allows you to toggle through sources
• There are 4 configuration slots for each type of controller
  • To load a different, previously saved configuration, select the slot, and click 'Load'
  • After configuring the controls as desired, select the slot, and click 'Save'
  • After saving different configurations to the slots, be sure to save your configs in the input tab of the settings frame
