What is the game file?
A game file is the digital copy of a cartridge or disc. It can be one you made yourself from your own, or a new game its author gives away for free.
This page only opens SG-1000 games, in .sg .zip .7z files. A .zip or .7z works too, as long as it holds a SG-1000 game: games from other consoles don't open here.
Your files and saves stay with you only. Learn more
SG-1000 controls
| Button | Keyboard | Controller |
|---|---|---|
| D-pad | ↑ ↓ ← → | D-pad |
| Button 1 | Z | A · ✕ |
| Button 2 | X | B · ○ |
| Pause | Enter | Menu · Options |

Buttons follow the layout of the original controller. Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro, 8BitDo and similar controllers work with no setup. Up to 4 controllers, one per player, in the order they're connected; the keyboard is always player 1. To change a button, open the emulator menu and go to Controls.
How to save the game
- Game save: Use a save state.
- Save state: saves the exact spot, at any moment, in 4 slots next to the game. On the keyboard, F2 saves and F4 loads.
- Where it's kept: in this browser, on this device, even after you turn it off. To continue, open the same game again. A private window keeps nothing, and clearing the browser's data erases your saves.
