Tips: A settings.txt file and other .sav file for each games will be built in your microSD card once start to play games.

Open the settings.txt,  there will be two lines: the first line is your kernel version. The second line is CREATE_PER_GAME_SETTINGS = 1. Set the CREATE_PER_GAME_SETTINGS = 1(default 0, can change it anytime later) and save it, a .CFG file will be created in your microSD card after a game has been played, it is the rom header of each game. you can build you own .CFG file for playing a new game(or an online game) later if you know how to get those info properly, which means you don’t have to wait for the updated gamelist.bin file by our site, the .CFG file has a higher priority than a gamelist.bin file.
