In-Game Controls
When a game is loaded, a 1 player game can be started with the Player 1 Start button. A 2
player game can be started with the Player 2 Start Button. Pressing either of these buttons
also acts as inserting a virtual coin, should the game you're playing require them.
A game can be paused or quit at any time by pressing either Pause Button, where you will be
given the option to resume your current game, or quit back to the Pandora Games 3 menu.
Every time a game is loaded from the menu, it is loaded ‘from fresh’, meaning that high scores
are not saved between games, unless saved manually by the player using the saving and
loading system.
Saving and Loading a Game
Note: Every time a game is loaded, it is loaded ‘from fresh’, meaning that high scores are not
saved between games unless saved manually by the player using the saving and loading
system.
The system allows you to save your progress at any point, and then return to that point at a
later time. This is achieved by saving a “State”.
About “States”
On this ArcadePro system, a “State” can be described as a specific point or moment when in
the game. When you load a state, you will return in the game to the exact moment where you
saved it.
States can be saved or loaded at any point of the game.
On this system, there can only be one state per game. Each new state you save will overwrite
the last.

button, then save the state by pressing the Player 1 C button. You can resume the game by
hitting the Player 1 A button.
To load the last state you saved, pause the game using the Pause button, then press the Player
1 button to load the most recent save state. Resume the game by hitting the Player 1 A
button.
