Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why am I returned to the main menu after selecting games in the installation menu?

This happens because the Enter key is used to confirm your final selection. To select games:

• Use ↑/↓ to navigate the list
• Press X to select/deselect games (selected items turn cyan)
• Press Enter only when you're done selecting to proceed

Do I need to reinstall this tool for new Pipsi versions?

No. The tool automatically fetches the latest Pipsi versions and updates from the pipsi-utils-cloud repository, so no reinstallation is needed.

Are Chinese installations of Pipsi supported?

Chinese clients are not officially supported. Manual setup is required for Chinese client versions.

Note: Native installation and update support for Chinese client versions is currently in development.
