UNBOXING YOUR CONTROLLER
STEP 1: Carefully unpack your arcade control board. If you use a utility knife, please make
sure you do not damage any part of the product when unpacking.
STEP 2: Once unpacked, attach your controller to your 32” Xtension Arcade cabinet or
Pedestal and secure with the 4 - 60mm black bolts using the Allen wrench that was included
with your cabinet. If you did not order an Xtension Arcade cabinet, you will not need the 4 -
60mm black bolts.
STEP 3: Your Xtension Emulator Edition Controller has 1 USB cable. Plug your USB cable into
your PC, Mac or Raspberry pi and turn on your computer or pi. Your LED Menu buttons will
turn on and are powered by the USB input of your PC, Mac or Raspberry pi.
3 SWITCHABLE MODES
There are 3 dierent switchable gameplay modes for your controller. You can switch between
the 3 available modes by simply holding down player 1 start and an additional assigned
mode button for 10 seconds. That’s it! After 10 seconds, release both buttons and wait up to
30 seconds for the desired mode to take eect. The assigned mode will save and open when
restarting your system.
Your 3 mode options are Keyboard Mode, D-Input and X-Input. The controller will normally
ship with Keyboard mode defaulted . You can change to your desired mode without any 3rd
party software or rmware update. Use Keyboard Mode for Trackball use.
NOTE: The menu names labeled on the controller’s graphic are only for Keyboard Mode.
See the helpful video linked below on how to switch modes.
HOW TO SWITCH MODES:

KEYBOARD MODE
Keyboard Mode is best used for PC Emulators , MAME and popular front end software like
Hyperspin and Launchbox. The Menu buttons functionality is VERY important for emulation
and navigation with PC emulators and front end software. Keyboard mode is the only
mode where you can access this full menu navigation feature and we highly recommend
this mode for use with PC Emulators, MAME, Hyperspin, LaunchBox and most PC arcade
front end software. The Keyboard mode is defaulted to the popular MAME software and we
recommend mapping all of your emulators to Keyboard mode when using a PC.

KEYBOARD MODE
KEYBOARD MODE (PC KEYBOARD DEFAULT MAPPING LAYOUT)
Press and Hold the Shaded Buttons for 10 Seconds to Get Back into Keyboard Mode
If you are not in Keyboard Mode and wish to switch back to Keyboard Mode, you will
need to hold down the following buttons for 10 seconds. Simultaneously press and hold the
Player 1 Start button and the Player 1 1st button for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, you can
release both buttons and wait up to 30 seconds for the desired mode to take eect.
KEYBOARD MODE: Player 1 Start (1 Key) + Player 1 1st Button (Left CTRL Key)
(The buttons shaded in black above)
Emulator Mapping: The controls are pre-mapped to the default conguration of MAME.
However, you can use this Keyboard encoded conguration to custom map most any PC
emulator you would like. Custom mapping options can normally be performed in the menu
options of any 3rd party downloaded emulator software application.
Disabling Windows Keyboard “Hot Keys”: You may want to disable your Windows PC’s
“Hot Keys” by simply right clicking anywhere on your screen and selecting “Graphics
Options” and then “Hot Keys” and then “Disable”. This will prevent any unwanted multi key
activated pop up screens during game play.
The menu labels displayed on the controller printed graphic are labled
for Keyboard Mode only, for PC emulation navigation.

D-INPUT MODE
D-Input Mode is best used for 2 player Raspberry pi gameplay and Retro Pie software.
You can also use it for PC use. During PC use, the controller will show up as 2 individual
gamepads in your Windows Device Manager. This does not aect gameplay.
D-Input is NOT recommended for PC use with Steam games. X-Input is a better choice for
most Steam content, especially modern ghting games.
If you want to switch to D-Input Mode, you will need to hold down the following buttons
for 10 seconds. Simultaneously press and hold the Player 1 Start button and the Player 1 2nd
button for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, you can release both buttons and wait up to 30
seconds for the desired mode to take eect.

(The buttons shaded in black on image below)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The Trackball will work when using a PC however, the
trackball will only work on some versions on MAME in Retro Pie software . Unfortunately, this
is how the 3rd party Retro Pie Software is set up and we have no control over any 3rd party
software. Left and Right Mouse WILL NOT Work on ANY system.

HELPFUL TIPS WITH SETING UP YOUR CONTROLLER USING
RETRO PIE SOFTWARE
For Raspberry Pi and Retro Pie Software Using D-Input Mode
TIP 1: When attempting to “CONFIGURE INPUT”,set up
your player 2 rst and do not congure a “HOT KEY”. When
Retro Pie asks what you want for your “HOT KEY”, just hold
down any button to skip this step and no “HOT KEY” will be
assigned. When setting up your player 1, you will then want to
assign your “HOT KEY” to the controller’s “COIN ONE” button.
This will then allow you to exit games by pressing “Player 1
Start” and “COIN ONE” simultaneously.
TIP 2: If you are using a fresh new install of Retro Pie on your
Raspberry Pi, and this is the rst ever controller that was
plugged into the pi, then upon plugging in your controller’s
primary USB you should see a “WELCOME” screen instruction
for you to hold ANY button on your controller.
TIP 3: We suggest setting up your conguration to the
mapping example displayed above.
TIP 4: If you already previously set up a dierent controller and
would now like to use the Xtension controller, you will need
to use the original controller you originally set up with your
Retro Pie software with and navigate to the “MAIN MENU”
by pressing “START” on your original controller. Then scroll
down and select to “CONFIGURE INPUT” using your original
controller. Then unplug your original controller from the
Raspberry Pi and plug in your Xtension controller. Then hold
down the “A” button shown above and proceed to start the
“CONFIGURE INPUT” process with your Xtension Controller.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The information on this
page is only helpful tips as
we do not oer any ocial
support on setting up your
3rd party software.
