Two dialogs were especially (re)designed for the RetroN 77:Command Menu
This dialog is similar to the PC version's Command Menu, but with some commands especially selected for the RetroN 77. Basic Settings Dialog
'Use Advanced Settings...' switches settings mode. Then you have access to all Stella setting. But please be careful, make sure that you know what you are doing! The 'Help...' dialog explains the function of the console and controller buttons, similar to this document. Finally the dialog combines the most important settings from several other dialogs of the PC version:
- For 'UI theme' and 'Dialogs position' see User Interface Settings - Look & Feel.
- 'TV mode', 'Scanline intensity', 'Phosphor blend' and 'Overscan' are described in Video & Audio Settings - Display and TV Effects.
- 'Left port' and 'Right port' are defined per game. For details see Game Properties - Controller Properties.
