Manual Stream
A configuration with no automation: once started, MAN only streams the game picture to your computer and maps your keyboard presses to controller input on the console — you play, right from your desk. In the app it is called Manual Stream, also known as the manual chain.
Status
Ready — selectable directly in the configuration list, usable in any mode. Free means no charge; the license activation requirement is the same as for other configurations.
When to use it
- The first three games on a new save are special and the automation can stumble (see Basketball 27 · MC Open Court).
- The automation is stuck on a screen it cannot clear.
- You want to play a stretch by hand while MAN only handles picture and input.
How to use
- Select Manual Stream in the configuration list.
- Press RUN: the stream keeps running, MAN no longer plays by itself.
- Play with the keyboard as usual; default keys work out of the box.
- When done, press STOP, switch back to your usual configuration and press RUN to continue the automation.

Changing keys
While not running, open Key map to change these keyboard bindings: changes save immediately on this computer, apply to the current configuration only, survive package updates, and can be restored to defaults.
