Presentation

The "Package Manager" app is a powerful tool that allows users to easily install or uninstall emulators and apps.

Usage

Package Manager is a native application of Onion, it is installed by default.

  • run Package Manager from Apps section.
  • Packages are divided into three sections:
    • Verified: Contains all verified systems which are fully compatible with Onion and the Game Switcher (see Emulators for more information).
    • Apps: Contains all the included Onion and third-party apps.
    • Expert: Contains experimental/expert systems. Some are just alternative, some are standalone emulators (not compatible with Game Switcher) and some are just not fully tested. (see Emulators for more information).
  • Choose the systems and apps you need and press start.
  • at the top right of the screen you'll see the number of current modifications (on the screenshot above we see that 1 item will be insntalled)
  • Package Manager will display a summary of the modifications, press start again to confirm and apply the modifications.
note

Removing an emulator or an app will not remove the associated roms and data.
