While a game is running
Save, load, sound, fullscreen, a screenshot and the way back out are all buttons on the emulator’s own strip down the left edge of the screen. Almost every key you press goes straight through to the game — these are the few the emulator keeps for itself.
Before you chase
Keep a notebook — witnesses describe both the crook’s destination and their traits. You need the destination to follow, and the traits to issue a correct warrant.
