Source

The source is the device Indigo reads your games from: the SD card, the disc drive, a drive replacement such as GC Loader, a memory card slot or a network share. Indigo picks one when it starts; the Source face lets you change it.

Change the source

1. On Home, turn the cube to Source and press A.
2. Choose Change Source. The cube lifts out of the way and the devices Indigo found line up under it, each with its picture.
3. Push the control stick or the D-pad Left or Right (or press L or R) until the device you want is in the middle, then press A. Hold the stick to keep moving; the row goes round.
4. You're back on Home, now reading from that device. Turn the cube to Library and press A to see what's on it. To start on a particular card or folder every time, set Library Path in Settings › Setup › Storage.

Under the device in the middle, the picker says what it can do, where it plugs in, and whether Indigo found it:

• Z shows every device Indigo supports, not only the ones it found. Z again goes back to the ones it found.
• Y shows details about the device, where it has them.
• X, on an SD adapter or IDE-EXI device, shows its speed: Left and Right choose 13.5 or 27 MHz, and A keeps it. Some SD cards only work at the slower speed.
• B goes back.

The disc drive is called Game Disc.

What the Library face opens

With Game Disc selected, the Library shows the game on the disc, or the games on a multi-game disc. It reads them from the disc's root without looking for a /games folder or switching to another card. The game's data folders are available through the File Browser. A small disc mark in the top-left of its Library artwork identifies a game read from the disc drive.

Use a /games layout described in the Library guide to open the poster Library. Indigo skips unrelated files in that folder. When the Source has no /games folder, Indigo looks for one on the other storage connected (not the network or a WODE) and opens the first it finds, as it does when it starts; Settings › Setup › Storage › Library Path names another folder instead. For other layouts, Indigo opens the File Browser at /games, or at the top of the device when there is no /games, where you can browse folders and open games, homebrew programs (.dol, .elf) and MP3s (see File Browser for controls, pane navigation and file actions).

While an MP3 plays, Left rewinds and Right goes forward. Rewinding near the start returns to the start of the same track. B stops playback.

Refresh Library

The other choice on the Source face, Refresh Library, reads the current device again. Use it when what's on it changes while Indigo is running, such as a new disc in the drive.
