Questions people ask before buying

Does RetroHub come with games?

No. RetroHub does not include, download or link to any game or console firmware. You use the files you own, and you are responsible for them.

Do I still need to install emulators?

Not for the systems that run in the browser: their emulator cores are downloaded once, during setup. PlayStation 2 games use PCSX2, which you install yourself.

What do I need to run it?

A 64-bit Windows 10 or 11 computer and Chrome or Edge. There is nothing else to install: RetroHub comes as a folder you extract and start with a double click.

Does it need an internet connection?

Only for the first setup, which downloads the player and the emulator cores. After that, RetroHub runs on your computer with no connection at all.

Where are my saves kept?

In your browser, on your computer. The player keeps in-game saves and save states per game, and its menu lets you export and import them as files.

Does it work with a controller?

Yes. Controllers your browser recognizes over USB or Bluetooth work as soon as you press a button, and every key and button can be remapped in the player menu. The keyboard works too.

Your collection, one click from the title screen.
