Game Tips
- Use the ball speed control (button A and B) to break through the computer defenses.
- If the game crash during startup. Check if the WiFi or Ethernet network is enabled else the game will not work!
Installation
If you are using the Homebrew Channel, just copy the Pong2 directory from the archive into the apps directory on the root of your SD card. If you are using another loader, you only need “boot.dol”. Consult the documentation for your loader of choice for the appropriate location to place these files. Launch the game using your loader.
