Help & FAQ
Everything you need to get playing — controls, save states, creating AI games and the AImotion motion controller.
🕹️ Retro Play (emulators)
Do I need to download or install anything?+
No. Every game runs directly in your browser — no downloads, no installs.
How do I save and load my game (save states)?+
Press F5 to save the state and F7 to load it. F1 opens the emulator menu, where you can also manage saves.
Does it work with a gamepad?+
Yes. Connect a USB or Bluetooth controller and the emulator detects it automatically. You can also remap buttons from the menu (F1).
Can I play on my phone or tablet?+
Yes. On touch screens you get on-screen controls. For demanding consoles (N64, PS1) a computer gives the best experience.
A game runs slow or won't load — what can I do?+
3D consoles (N64, PS1) are heavier: try a desktop with Chrome and close other tabs. If a game won't load, reload the page.
🤖 AI Arcade (create games)
How do I create my own game?+
Go to “Create game”, describe the idea you have in mind and the AI generates a playable game in seconds. No code.
How many games can I create?+
Free generation has a daily limit to keep the service open for everyone.
Is the game I create saved?+
You can publish it to the community gallery for others to play, or keep it to yourself.
🎾 AImotion (motion games)
What do I need to play?+
A big screen (laptop or TV) that shows the game, and a phone that acts as the motion controller. Nothing to install.
How do I connect my phone?+
Open a game on the big screen, scan the QR with your phone and tap to allow the motion sensor.
My phone isn't detecting motion+
On iPhone you must tap “Allow” when the motion sensor is requested. It needs a secure (HTTPS) connection — which retrohub.live already provides — and a firm gesture when you move the phone.
Can I play alone?+
Yes. In Motion Tennis, one phone plays against the CPU; two phones make it a 1v1 duel.
🛍️ Store & general
What do the store bundles include?+
Preconfigured emulation software (systems, shaders, themes and guides). They do not include game ROMs.
Is using RetroHub legal?+
Emulating systems is legal in many jurisdictions; you are responsible for having the right to play each title. If you are a rights holder, see our takedown (DMCA) policy.
