How to Play Hardcore Pool
Quick start
At startup, choose French, then launch Arcade for a quick first game; The game also offers Tournament, 8-ball, 9-ball and Time Trial. Select one of eight characters and a table, then carefully align the line of sight before adjusting the power. In 8-ball, first enter all the balls in your group before the black one; In 9-ball, always hit the lowest numbered ball first. Press R if you lose sight of the ball you want to aim for.
Controls
The directional cross navigates through the menus; A validates and B rolls back. During a stroke, left/right directs the cue and up/down adjusts the power; A validates the firing stages. R displays the target balls. START opens the pause menu, which also provides access to help. The keyboard keys listed by some sites are those of the emulator, not those of the GBA.
