# Option defaults and button bindings

Copy your new pak and some roms to your SD card and launch a game. Press the MENU button and select Options. Configure the Frontend, Emulator, and Controls. NextUI standard practice is to only bind controls present on the physical controller of the original system (eg. no turbo buttons or core-specific features like palette or disk switching). Let the player dig into that if they want to, the same goes for Shortcuts. Finally select Save Changes > Save for Console. Then quit and pop your SD card back into your computer.
