Splash
Plug in the Fightstick to a USB port on your game console or computer and you'll be greeted with the splash screen.
Button Chart and NeoPixels
Once the Fightstick has started up, you'll see the screen switch to a button chart that shows joystick movement and button presses of the eight main buttons.
The NeoPixels will light up. Pressing a button will cause a secondary color to light up.
Those are the generic GP2040-CE button names. Here's how they map to specific consoles:
