Now put blktiger.zip/blkdrgon.zip into a folder where you have arcade roms.
When the emulator starts, you can press L+R to open up the menu (the emulator tries to load Black Tiger automagically on startup). Now you can use the cross to navigate the menus, A to select an option, B to go back a step.

Some dumb info about the game and emulator...
Put the GBA into sleepmode. START+SELECT wakes up from sleep mode (activated from this menu or from 5/10/30 minutes of inactivity).
Restart game.
Huge thanks to Loopy for the incredible PocketNES, without it this emu would
probably never have been made.
