Before You Begin

This guide will will try to explain things as clearly as possible, but make some assumptions about your environment and your familiarity with the operating system. Most notably, that you are familiar with the basic operations of your PC (how to download files, how to extract them, etc.)

<aside> 🚨

WARNING: These guides assume that you already have the necessary files (firmware, keys, games, etc.) to run the emulator. Neither the Eden Team nor Their Discord will assist you in obtaining these files. Asking for these files on the Discord may result in a ban from the server without support or chance to appeal.

2. Extract the contents to wherever you want to store the program on your computer.

   <aside> ✅

   TIP: If you want to run Eden completely portable (everything is stored in the folder you extracted it to) - create a folder called user if it is not there by default.

3. Run Eden.exe to launch the program.

   <aside> 💡

   INFO: You may get a “Windows protected your PC” SmartScreen message that appears. This is just Windows Defender saying it did not recognize the application and did not run it - Eden is completely safe. Click More info and then Run anyway to dismiss this message.
