Introduction

The Inner Space Uplink serves as a hub for all Inner Space sessions providing basic game and profile settings. All games must be launched through the Uplink (via any of the supplied methods, including the menu, special desktop shortcuts, etc) to become Inner Space sessions.

Games and Profiles

Adding a game

Inner Space provides a way to add your own games to its list. To do so, you simply click "Add Game" from the menu, type the name of the game, and select the executable to use in order to launch the game. The list of games already in Inner Space are here. If you experience any trouble adding a game to Inner Space, please let us know.

Editing/Adding a game profile

To add or edit a game profile, right click the tray icon and select Configuration. From here the Inner Space Configuration UI will appear and we want to click the -> Arrow until we find the Game Configuration tab up top. After selecting this tab we will need to use the top combobox to select the game we want. Next, we either use the bottom combobox, or press the "New Profile" button. Change or add your preferences and click finished.

Console
