Use the release page to get the latest build:
- Open the release page link above.
- Find the latest release at the top of the page.
- Download the Windows installer or zip file from the Assets section.
- If you get a zip file, extract it to a folder you can find later.
- If you get an installer, run it and follow the prompts.
After you download the app, set it up on your Windows PC:
- Double-click the installer or extracted app file.
- Allow Windows to make changes if it asks.
- Pick a folder for the app if the setup asks for one.

For the best results, use a modern Windows system with a decent CPU, a GPU that supports Vulkan, and enough free disk space for your games.

- Use Vulkan if your GPU supports it.
If a game runs too slow, lower the resolution or turn off extra visual options. If a game looks too blurry, raise the internal resolution or use upscaling settings.
A stronger PC will give you better results. A good setup includes:
- Windows 10 or Windows 11
- A recent multi-core CPU
- A GPU with Vulkan support
- 8 GB RAM or more
- Enough free storage for the emulator and game files
A wired controller can also help if you want a console-like feel.
After install, you may see files and folders for:
- Program files
- Game settings
- Shader cache
- Logs
- Controller profiles
- Save data
Keep these files in the same place unless you know what each one does. This helps the emulator start and save data the right way.
You can change a few settings to match your PC:
- Graphics API: use Vulkan when possible
- Resolution: lower it for speed, raise it for sharper image
- Audio: keep default settings unless you hear delay
- Controls: map buttons before starting a game
- Full screen: use it for a cleaner view
These settings can help you get a smoother result without much effort.
If the app does not open:
- Check that you downloaded the full release files.
- Try running the app as an administrator.
- Make sure your GPU drivers are current.
- Restart your PC and try again.
If a game is slow:
- Close other apps.
- Use Vulkan.
- Lower the resolution.
- Update your graphics driver.
- Try a different controller profile if input feels delayed.
If controls do not work:
- Open the control settings.
- Pick your device.
- Map each button again.
- Save the profile.
