Using Pico Launcher

This document will outline the different settings and functionalities of Pico Launcher.

Pico Launcher interface

When Pico Launcher is started, this is how your screen will look like.

From here you can browse your SD card to launch homebrew and games.

• DPAD: Move the selector.
• A: Open a folder, or to launch a homebrew or game.
• B: Go to the parent folder or close a menu.
• L and R: Scroll quickly when there are many items in a folder.

The back arrow on the top left of the bottom screen can also be used to go up to the parent folder.

Please note that touch functionality is not supported yet.

Settings menu

The settings menu can be accessed by using the DPAD to move the selector to the cogwheel icon and pressing A. When in the settings menu, press the B button will to return to the file browser.

Currently, the only settings available are the display mode, and the sorting mode (More settings are available in the settings file). Here is how each layout looks like.
