File Explorer CAUTION: When emulation mode is enabled, do not save any data to the emulated controller (Disk>D: SD Card). When using emulation mode, ACE creates a new "fresh" emulated-controller file system in a temporary folder.
When ACE is shut down, that file system is destroyed, which means the contents of any user-created folders, files, or data will be deleted. Therefore, you should save your data in a PC folder and/or with the ACE workspace. The File Explorer provides an interface for viewing and managing the files and folders on the connected con- troller. You can also use this window to: copy/paste, move, rename, and delete files and folders on the con- nected controller, and drag-and-drop files from your PC to the connected controller. This functionality is similar to that provided by Windows Explorer. To access the File Explorer, on the ACE toolbar, click the File Explorer ( ) icon.
