Follow the steps below
Step 1: Connect the hardware

Step 2: Install dependencies and launch the game system
Install the programs that the game system depends on. Double-click the relevant program and follow the on-screen installation steps.

Tips
In some cases, the computer system may not be able to run the Retrobat Game System due to missing prerequisite programs. If you encounter issues running the game system, you will be prompted about missing plugins. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the required plugins. (The probability of this occurring is very small).
