Brightness workaround

If the console hotkeys for brightness doesn't work for some reason, you can try to edit (with a text editor) and increase the number in the .backlight.conf file placed on the main partition of your SD card.

Shutting down the console

  • Not shutting down safely can cause micro SD corruption
  • To safely shut down the console:
    • Exit from the emulator or game you are playing to return to the main menu (gmenu)
    • Hold the 'R' (reset) button (or minus symbol button in Q90) to open the Power Menu
    • Press A to shut down
    • Alternatively you can go to the settings section and use the "Shutdown" icon or use the Quick Shutdown Hotkey
    • When the screen turns black, flick the power switch

Screen timeout/sleep mode

  • This only applies while in the main menu.
  • The default screen timeout is 90 seconds, after this the screen will go black. Press 'R' (reset) to wake it up
  • The default power timeout is 10 minutes, after the console has been idle for 10 minutes it will perform a soft shutdown.
    • Once this has occurred, you must flick the power switch off and back on to wake the Bittboy

Alternative to access the "main" partition on Windows 7 or 8
