FAQ you will get
Is this NXStation?
No. Different UI, same ROM folder. Top of nxstation.com has both apps.
Why does return go to Home in FW 22.5?
Stock cores on newer firmware often cannot chain-load back. Re-open NXStation B; it should land on the last game. Rax is only if you want in-core return. In FW20.4, it works just fine, however more testing is needed.
Applet / Album crash?
Use Title Override. The app needs full RAM.
