BIOS and firmware
Some systems need firmware before games can start. Emu Paradise does not provide BIOS files. Required filenames, versions and regions depend on the emulator core.
Connect and test a controller
Connect USB or pair Bluetooth in your device settings. Use HTTPS or localhost, press a controller button, then refresh the controller list in Settings. Test buttons and analog axes before starting a game.
