Wireless Analog Controllers

D. Wireless Analog Controllers

Important: To use a wireless analog controller in Omega the user MUST TURN IT ON AND HAVE IT SYNCED BEFORE THE GAME IS LOADED. If it is synced after the game is loaded it will not work.

You can map games to a wireless analog controller like an Xbox 1, Xbox 360 or similar controller. Some emulators like Nintendo 64, PlayStation 2, PSP, Nintendo GameCube, Dreamcast and many new PC games require an analog controller — the arcade machine controls will not work on these emulators.

Syncing/Pairing an Xbox Wireless Controller

1. Unplug the Xbox dongle from the USB port, then plug it back in.
2. Push the button on the Xbox Dongle until the light blinks, then let go.
3. Take an Xbox controller and push the "ON" button (the lighted X button in the center). The controller will automatically start syncing. When it stops blinking, it is synced.
4. If you have multiple controllers, press their ON buttons to sync them as well.
5. If a controller does not sync, check the batteries.
