Amico Controller Features

• Disc – directional input for gameplay and menu navigation.
• Touchscreen – displays the controller’s menus as well as game-specific information, controls, and menus.
• Menu Button – open/close the controller options menu on the touchscreen. It also pauses/resumes gameplay.
• Action Buttons – games-specific functions and selecting highlighted menu items on the “console” device.
• Speaker – some games play sound effects through your controller device’s speaker.
• Microphone – some games ask you to record your voice through your controller device’s microphone for in-game content.

Sign-In Menu
When you launch the Amico Controller app, it automatically connects over your WiFi network to the device running the Amico Home app. Then it shows the sign-in menu which presents four ways for you to sign in as a player:

1. Create a new resident account – enter your player nickname, preferred language and optional account password (and password hint).
2. Choose from a list of previously created resident accounts.
3. Use a guest account – type in your player guest nickname.
4. Use an anonymous guest account – it assigns you a name of “Player1”, or “Player2”, etc.

A resident account preserves your account information and controller preferences between sessions; a guest account does not. In no case is your information sent over the Internet or stored on cloud servers.

Options Menu
Press the little menu button to open the controller’s option menu on the touchscreen area. This action pauses game play if a game is in active play (i.e. not on a game menu). Resume game play by pressing the menu button again to close the options menu.

The options menu offerings vary depending on the current state of play and whether you are signed in or not and connected to the Amico Home console device or not. Only options that are currently applicable are shown to keep the menu streamlined.

Important Options Menu Items
• Sign Out – sign out of the current signed-in player account and return to the controller Sign-In menu.
• Game Menu – Exit active gameplay and return to the game’s main menu.
• Amico Home – Exit a game completely and return everyone to the Amico Home app.
• Settings (Gear) – a submenu of various settings options to customize your controller and gameplay experience.
• Rotation Lock/Unlock – a toggle that locks and unlocks the ability for the controller UI to rotate when you rotate the controller to different orientations.

A user-friendly feature of Amico Controllers is the ability to rotate it for left-handed or right-handed comfort. Some games may restrict the controller UI to only landscape or only portrait orientations due to demands of their touchscreen displays. But within those restrictions you are free to rotate the controller 180 degrees to change which side has the Disc and which side has the touch screen. The touchscreen UI and Disc directions will automatically adjust to the new orientation (unless you have locked rotation, see above).
