Thanks for showing us this. In my opinion, that RetroBat has really solved so many of the problems of retro-gaming. Especially the save setting feature, man, that is incredible.

Nice tip Lon if you see this. If you click on say decorations for example with A in your case it will give you a list with previews of all Bezel options so you don't have to guess the one you want to use also on save states you can press Y in your case on the main menu when the game is highlighted to choose a save state and jump right in without launching game and doing button combo. and if you notice it puts a little floppy disc icon next to games that have save states it is next to the game manual icon
