If you feel uncertain about any of the buttons or options, simply hold your mouse over them for a second to see some useful tool tips.
Default Encyclopedia Emulator Settings
These are the emulator settings Lemonade will use by default whenever you launch a game in the Games Encyclopedia. These settings can be overriden when you set a game as playable in the Games Organiser. For more information about overriding the default Encyclopedia emulator settings, please click here.
Display
Lemonade offers different screen resolutions so that you can get the best possible gaming experience. You may need to experiment with the display settings as to which suits you best.
The resolutions offered by Lemonade are:
Windowed:
320x256 No overscan
640x512 No overscan (double size)
720x576 Full overscan (double size)
Full Screen:
640x480
800x600
In windowed mode 90% of games display fine without overscan.
Sounds
Sounds can either be enabled or disabled. You might find that certain games might run slower if sound is enabled, though this is less likely to happen if you have a modern PC. Again like the display, it is best to experiment with different settings for the best options.
Controls
Lemonade allows you to select either the mouse, joystick or one of three keyboard layouts to use as controls in your games. The keyboard layouts are:

- Keyboard Layout A: Numeric keypad, 0 and 5 = fire
- Keyboard Layout B: Cursor keys, right CTRL and ALT = fire
- Keyboard Layout C: T=up, B=down, F=left, H=right, left ALT=fire

If you have any joysticks/joypads connected to your computer they will be listed in the dropdown boxes as Joystick 1, Joystick 2, etc. You can also configure the joystick so that it works properly by clicking the Configure Joysticks button.
Some games may require the controls to be swapped over between the two ports, clicking the Swap button will swap the controls between the ports in an instant.
Games Scanner
This opens Lemonade's built-in Games Scanner which you can use to scan any folder (and it is sub-folders) for any .ADF or .ZIP files. If the scanner finds any recognised game files it will automatically add them to the Games Encyclopedia.

This button opens Lemonade's Updater window. Here you can check updates for Lemonade, its database as well as screenshots.
