       ├── fonts/              # bundled font
       └── gameinfo.xml        # EmulationStation metadata
   

3. On the device, press START → Game Settings → Update Gameslist
4. Launch Cardagain from the Tools menu

Option B: PortMaster

First launch

The app creates a demo Japanese deck automatically. You can study it immediately or add your own decks.

Study your first cards

1. From the main menu, select Study
2. Pick the Japanese deck
3. You’ll see a card front, e.g. “Hello”
4. Press A to flip and see the answer: “こんにちは”
5. Rate yourself:
   • A (Again) — You didn’t know it. Review in 1 minute.
   • B (Good) — You got it. Standard interval.
   • X (Hard) — You barely got it. Shorter interval.
   • Y (Easy) — Too easy. Longer interval.
6. Repeat until the session is complete

Updating

To update to a new version:

1. Download the new release zip
2. Extract it over your existing folder (tools/ or ports/)
3. Your decks and reviews in data.json are preserved
4. Press START → Game Settings → Update Gameslist

Check your version on the Stats screen.

Add your own deck

Create a .csv file on your computer:

# MyDeck.csv
front,back
Hello,こんにちは
Thank you,ありがとう
Good morning,おはよう

Copy it to the app’s data directory (/userdata/roms/tools/cardagain/ or /roms/ports/cardagain/, where data.json lives), then restart the app. The deck appears automatically.

See Adding Decks for full details.
