The machine came with a manual, but, also a link to a web manual. Going to the link... was frustrating. I ended up using an older browser, with all the usual ad blocking/scripting/cookies etc disabled. It eventually worked.
But!
The PC Engine mini website annoyed me!
So, I posted the links to the manuals, for anyone else.
