Rewind and Fast-Forward

Speed up gameplay or rewind to fix mistakes.

1 min read


Playback includes rewind and fast-forward features to enhance your gaming experience.

Fast-forward

Speed up gameplay to skip through slow sections, grinding, or unskippable cutscenes.

How to use

  1. Enable in Settings > Playback > Enable Fast Forward
  2. During gameplay, click the fast-forward button in the control bar
  3. Click again to return to normal speed

The default speed is 2x, adjustable up to 10x in Emulator Settings.

Rewind

Made a mistake? Rewind lets you go back in time and try again.

How to use

  1. Enable in Settings > Playback > Enable Rewind
  2. During gameplay, click the rewind button in the control bar
  3. Release to resume from that point

A visual effect indicates when you’re rewinding. Configure rewind buffer size and speed in Emulator Settings.

Tips

  • Fast-forward is great for RPG grinding or slow text
  • Rewind uses memory — reduce the buffer size if you experience performance issues
  • Both features can be toggled during gameplay without pausing
  • Use slow motion (below 1x) for precise timing in difficult sections
  • When Hardcore Mode is enabled for RetroAchievements, rewind is disabled
