*** Notes regarding The Xtras   ***
***********************************

Sometimes starting or getting a game going can be confusing.  Here were my observations that might be helpful.

Alot of times pressing A will get a game going.  If that dont work try Y.  Some games prefer a function key be pressed to start.  Just bring up the onscreen keyboard and select that function key.

The numbers 1-4 are mapped to the right analog pad.  1 = RA up, 2 = RA left, 3 = RA right, 4 = RA down.  0 is mapped to white.

F1-F4 are mapped to holding left trigger and the right analog pad.  F1 = LT+RA Up, F2 = LT+RA Left, F3 = LT+RA Right, F4 = LT+RA down.  F5 is mapped to black.

There are some games where you have to hold either CTRL or SHIFT to load them.  Just hold down black for these games to work.  These games are noted in the compatibility spreadsheet and the games synopsis.
