Emulators & Setup

Install or register an emulator

Install supported emulators with one click or register an existing install without starting over.

Updated July 13, 2026

The emulator hub gives you one place to install, register, and manage emulator setups.

One-click install

Use built-in installer actions for supported emulators and systems.

Register existing installs

If you already use an emulator, point Emulation Ninja to its existing path so your setup can be managed centrally.

Primary emulator selection

When multiple emulators support one system, set a primary emulator or core so launches are predictable.

Commonly used integrations

Recent user-requested support includes Xenia Canary and Vita package workflows, alongside major emulators like Duckstation, PCSX2, Dolphin, and RetroArch.
