About Emulator Hub
Emulator Hub is one page that can become thirty-one different machines: an online emulator for the NES, SNES and Game Boy family, the Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Sega Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast, Atari and Commodore systems, and CPS arcade boards. Pick a system, drop in the game file and start; it runs in the browser with nothing to install.
It is built on the EmulatorJS cores and it is deliberately empty. There are no ROMs, no BIOS files, no artwork and no links to any of them; you select a lawful backup of a game you own, confirm that, and it runs locally in the tab. Nothing is uploaded to the server.
Each system notes its quirks before you start, for example the arcade core needing a version-matched ZIP with its original short name. Save states and in-game saves stay in browser storage on the device you used.
How to play
- Choose the system from the list. Read the core note under it; some systems need a BIOS.
- Drop your own game file into the box and confirm that you own it.
- Press start. The emulator opens in the video panel with keyboard controls active.
- Connect a gamepad for the best experience on consoles with analogue sticks.
Controls
| Keyboard | Per-system defaults, listed in the player guide |
|---|---|
| Gamepad | Standard mapping, detected on first button press |
Tips
- Keep your dumps in a folder named by system so the right file is easy to find.
- Older consoles run at full speed on almost any laptop; Dreamcast and N64 want a recent machine.
- Use the fullscreen control on the video panel rather than the browser's zoom.
