[SIZE=5][B]General Features[/B][/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]How can I enable Fast Forward?[/B] While playing a game, tap the Menu button, then tap "Fast Forward".

(Not supported on iPhone 4 or iPod touch 4th Gen) [B]How do I sustain a button?[/B] While playing a game, tap the Menu button, then tap "Sustain Button". Or, if you have an iOS 7 controller connected to your device, you can configure one of the buttons to enter sustain button mode whenever it is held down. Once you have done this, either tap the button you want to remain pressed, or press anywhere there isn't a button to cancel or un-sustain a previously sustained button. [B]Can I link two devices with GBA4iOS running over wifi/bluetooth so I can trade Pokemon/battle/whatever else requires two GBAs?[/B] Not yet, but you can transfer the saves to your computer and link them together using a program such as [URL='http://www.vbalink.info/']VBA-Link[/URL]. [SIZE=5][B]Save States[/B][/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]How can I save a save state?[/B] While playing a game, tap the Menu button, then tap "Save State". From the menu that appears, you can select a General save state to overwrite it, or tap the plus button in the top left to create a new save state. [B]How can I load a save state?[/B] While playing a game, tap the Menu button, then tap "Load State". Select the save state you want to load, and the game will resume from that point. [B]Can I rename save states?[/B] Yes, in GBA4iOS 2.0 you can. While playing a game, tap the Menu button, then tap either "Save State" or "Load State". Now, tap and hold on any save (except for the Auto save), and a dialogue will pop up asking you if you want to rename the save state or protect/unprotect the save state. Tap "Rename Save State", enter the new name into the alert that appears, then tap "Rename". [B]Can I protect save states from being overwritten by accident?[/B] Yes, in GBA4iOS 2.0 you can. While playing a game, tap the Menu button, then tap either "Save State" or "Load State". Now, tap and hold on any save (except for the Auto save), and a dialogue will pop up asking you if you want to rename the save state or protect/unprotect the save state. Tap "Protect Save State", and the save state will be moved into the Protected section. You cannot overwrite a protected save state, but you can still load it and delete it. If you want to unprotect a save state, tap and hold the protected save state, then tap "Unprotect Save State". [SIZE=5][B]Cheats (2.0 only)[/B][/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]How do I access the Cheats menu?[/B] While playing a game, tap the Menu button, then tap "Cheat Codes".

[SIZE=5][B]Dropbox Sync (2.0 only)[/B][/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]How do I enable Dropbox Sync?[/B] From the main menu, tap the gear in the top left corner. Scroll down to "Dropbox Sync", then tap it to open up the Dropbox Sync menu. From here, you can toggle the switch at the top on, which will give you the option to sign into Dropbox. Sign in, and GBA4iOS will start syncing data to Dropbox. [B]Why are all my games listed as "Conflicted" after turning on Dropbox Sync?[/B] This means a save file for this game already exists in Dropbox. Since GBA4iOS doesn't know which save file you'd prefer to use, it marks the game as conflicted and turns off syncing, so the correct save file isn't accidentally saved over. [B]How can I un-conflict a game?[/B] From the Dropbox menu, tap the name of the conflicted game. From the new view that appears, you'll see the local save file for this game, as well as any that exist in Dropbox. Select either the local save file or one of the Dropbox save files to use on all your devices, then toggle the switch at the top on. This will sync the save file you selected to all your devices, and turn syncing back on for the game. [B]Can I enable/disable Dropbox Syncing for individual games?[/B] Yes! From the Dropbox menu, tap the name of the game you want to enable/disable Dropbox Sync for, then toggle the switch at the top of the new view. [SIZE=5][B]Custom Controller Skins (2.0 only)[/B][/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]How can I change skins?[/B] From the main menu, tap the gear in the top left corner. Scroll down to the Controller Skins section, then tap either Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Color, depending on which skins you want to change. From the menu that appears, select either Portrait or Landscape, then tap the skin you want to use for the selected orientation. [B]How can I add more skins?[/B] There are three ways to add skins to GBA4iOS: [/SIZE][/I] [LIST=1] [*] [I][SIZE=3] [LIST] [*]From the skin selection view, tap the plus button in the top right. A list of views will appear with previews of what they look like. Tap the skin you want, and it'll begin downloading to your device.

[/LIST][/SIZE][/I] [/LIST] [I][SIZE=3][B]Can I change the controller skin opacity?[/B] Yes! From the main menu, tap the gear in the top left corner.

[SIZE=5][B]Event Distribution (2.0 only)[/B][/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=3][B]How can I access Event Distributions?[/B] From time to time, I will enable certain events for Pokemon games, such as the ability to obtain an Aurora Ticket or receive a rare Pokemon. To check if there are any events currently available for your game, tap the Menu button, then tap "Event Distribution". A list of all current events will be displayed, and you can select which one you want to download and play. [B]Is there a limited time period for these events?[/B] Depends on the event. Soon after GBA4iOS 2.0 is released, I will release an event for anyone with Pokemon Emerald to access. This event will always be available. However, other events such as distribution of the Aurora Ticket will only be available for a limited time. [B]How will I know if there's a new event?[/B] If you want to make sure you don't miss any events, you can follow me on Twitter ([URL='http://twitter.com/rileytestut']@rileytestut[/URL]), as I'll post about all events there. [B]Does Event Distribution use cheat codes to unlock features?[/B] Nope![/SIZE][/I] [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
