Context Menu

FCEUX includes a context menu that allows commonly used menu functions for various situations.  There are some functions that appear only here.

This page describes all the possible menu items in each possible context situation.

No game loaded.

Appears when no game is loaded.

Open ROM

Same as the File > Open ROM option

Last ROM used

Opens the most recently used file from the Recent Files Menu

Help

Brings up the Getting Started chapter in the help document.

Game Loaded

Appears when a game is loaded, but not a movie (.fm2).

Play Movie...

Same as the File > Movie > Play Movie menu item.

Record Movie...

Same as the File > Movie > Record Movie menu item.

Undo savestate

If this option is enabled it means the last savestate saved over-wrote a previous savestate file.  This option restores the previous savestate file.

Redo savestate

If this option is in the menu, it means that Undo savestate was recently used to restore a previous savestate.  This reverts that change.

Rewind to last auto-save

Auto-save must be enabled for this menu item to be accessible.  Same as the Load last auto-save Hotkey Item.  It loads the last auto-savestate.  Auto-savestates are created once about every 4 seconds, so this typically has the effect of rewinding emulation.
