## Questions & Answers

**Q: How to I reset the device? Pressing reset only brings up the installed game again, not the download screen.  It is stuck with one game on it!!!**
A: Once unplug from the computer or power source the game resets on its own. Ready to download another game.

**Q: Can this be used with a chromebook?**
A: Yes.  My students use Makecode Arcade to create games and download from a Chromebook onto the device.

**Q: Is it possible to download games to this from an IPad?**
A: We don't recommend using ipad for programming. The first reason is that we use a USB data cable, which is convenient to connect to a computer and download directly. Second, ipad programming will be unstable. Thank you very much!

**Q: Can it be used on Mac?**
A: Yes,it can. This has nothing to do with the computer. You can enter “wiki.elecfreaks.com/en/retroarcade/” to learn. Tks!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ See Your Code in Action!!!
*by M***D on August 31, 2023*

I teach young people to explore coding and tinkering with electronics. This past summer I began looking for a way to get projects into their hands to actually play and share with friends. The Elecfreaks Retro Arcade for Education (or at home) is perfect. The device feels solid and it also feels like the vintage GameBoy. You start off by building or remixing game code (low cade, Python, or Javascript) on Microsoft MakeCode. Then follow the easy to follow instructions to connect your computing device to the Retro. It will then download your chosen game and you can play it on the device. Battery life is good for playing these small 2-D low res (read RETRO old school) games. It really is alot of fun.
