Getting Started
First-time setup wizard
Use the welcome flow to auto-install core Ninja emulator components and import your first games.
Updated July 13, 2026
The welcome wizard reduces setup friction by handling core emulator installation and early import choices.
Step 1: Ninja emulator bootstrap
The wizard can queue Ninja emulator registration and starter cores automatically.
Step 2: Choose your import path
You can either:
- Import now using organized folders.
- Add one system as a quick test.
- Skip and explore first.
Step 3: Verify your first playable game
After matching completes, launch one game to validate emulator, BIOS, and controls.
Common outcomes
- If no games appear, use Troubleshooting: no games found, wrong matches, or missing new metadata.
- If BIOS is missing, go to Fix missing BIOS or firmware.
