PROGRAMMING THE X-ARCADE
The X-Arcade™ has 4 memory banks. Mode 1 is factory programmed and non-changeable, for use
with MAME™ and other emulators. Modes 2-4 are fully programmable as many times as you want.
IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING NOTES:
• When the light is on, you are in play mode. When the light is off you are in program mode.
• Remember that MODE 1 (switch closest to the serial cable) cannot be programmed.
• A keyboard must be plugged into the X-Arcade™ to program it, even if you use the USB
connection.
• To change modes, you must slide the switch on the back to desired Mode position, and then
press the SAVE/LOAD button TWICE to load that mode. (The light on the X-Arcade™ should go
out on the first push, and back on with the second)
• Programming is for the PC/MAC only, and does not function on game consoles.
NOTE: If you want to switch MODES after programming, you slide to
that MODE, then PRESS LOAD BUTTON 2 (TWO) TIMES. Don't forget this step.
Remember to HOLD THE BUTTON ON the X-Arcade and KEYBOARD
together until LED FLASHES

Programming Instructions:
Start by choosing Mode 2, 3 or 4 by sliding the switch away from the serial cable.
1. Press the black button (LOAD BUTTON) on the back of X-Arcade™ (the red light
turns off).
2. Press and hold any button or direction on a joystick (UP, DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT) on the
X-Arcade™ that you wish to change (keep holding during Step 3!).
3. While still holding button/direction in Step 2, press and hold a key on the keyboard until
the light on the X-Arcade™ starts to blink. Once the light starts blinking, the button on the
X-Arcade™ has been programmed to the keyboard button selected in step 2. Release the held
button/direction and keyboard key.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 to program additional buttons/directions. (Do not press load again)
5. Press the LOAD BUTTON to close out and save your entire programmed mode!
You can use a word editor like notepad to verify the programming, your buttons and joysticks should
now type the letters you have programmed them to.
All of the programmed buttons will be saved permanently in the X-Arcade™’s on-board memory. If
you turn off the computer, or unplug the X-Arcade™, the programmed buttons will not be lost. The
X-Arcade™ can be reprogrammed as many times as you like. This hardware based function was
designed to allow easy use with any Operating System. You can also just assign keys in each individual
game.
