About Settings
Types of Setting
The following are the methods in which settings can be changed, and how they work.
Drop Down
Drop down selections allow you to select one option, they have an arrow to the far right to indicate it is a drop down box. Click on the box, the arrow will rotate, and a list of options will reveal. Click on the item you want to select and it will become the current selection. The current selection will always appear at the top.
Number
A number selection allows you to change a quantity. The current number will show in the center, below a bar representing where in the limits the current selection is. Press the +/- button to either side to increase/decrease the number. The quantity it will change by will vary depending on the selection. If you reach the upper or lower bound of the selection the relevant +/- symbol will become greyed out.
Game Specific Settings
Some settings are set for the game as a whole, were as some can be configured on a per-game basis. Settings in this manual will be ables [Game Specific] in the title if that setting can be applied to a specific game.
To select which game type you are editing the settings for, use the Game Mode setting at the top.
The first setting “Game Mode” lets you configure which game your changing the settings for.
