== Usage ==
 
== Usage ==
First time you run BrawlStats you won't be able to see almost any stats.
+
Run BrawlStats for the first time. This will create the needed data on your SD.
This is normal, and you MUST do it. The first time it will create a file with all your game information that will be used on future sessions.
+
 
Now you can play a Brawl session as long as you want.
+
Once you have the data on your SD you can play Super Smash Bros. Brawl as long as you want.
Once you are finished run BrawlStats again and it will ask you if you want to create a new session, answer always YES.
+
 
Now you will be able to see the information about the first session! :D
+
After the Brawl session, you must run BrawlStats again. It will ask you if you want to create a new session, answer always YES. And now you will be able to see all the information about that session! :D
 +
 
 +
From now on, you will have to run BrawlStats after any Brawl Session. This is obligatory even if you don't want to save a session. If you don't follow this rule, next session you create will have the information of the last session plus the previous unsaved one, so remember to run BrawlStats afterany session.
 +
 
 +
== Menu & controls ==
 +
BrawlStats has a simple graphical user interface that we will divide in
 +
pages. Controls:
 +
*'''A: '''next page
 +
*'''B: '''previous page
 +
*'''D-PAD: '''navigate and/or scroll tables in the current page
 +
*'''2 (or Z on GC pad): '''save screenshot to the SD
 +
*'''HOME: '''help screen
 +
 
 +
 
 +
We will group pages into tabs in order to make the navigation easier.
 +
Every tab contains different pages. Explanation of tabs and pages:
   −
From now on, you will have to run BrawlStats after any Brawl Session, this is necessary even if you don't want to save the information of that session. If you don't follow this rule, next session you create will have the information of both latest sessions, so remember to run BrawlStats after any session if you want to have real data.
