1. Connect your controller: Start by connecting your controller to the Facebook Portal. You can do this by using via Bluetooth. Go to the settings, then Bluetooth settings. Put your controller into the Pairing mode. You will see your controller in the list. | ||
|
||
2. Open the web browser: On the Facebook Portal, locate the web browser app. It's usually represented by an icon that looks like a globe or compass. Tap on the icon to open the web browser. | ||
|
||
3. Visit web.libretro.com: In the web browser, enter the URL "web.libretro.com" in the address bar. This website is the official RetroArch website. | ||

4. Select a core: On the RetroArch website, you'll find a list of cores. Choose the core that corresponds to the console you want to emulate. | ||
|
||
5. Run the homebrews: After selecting the core, go to the "Downloads" section under the main menu. Look for the homebrews available for the console you selected. Homebrews are unofficial games or software created by independent developers. Select the file and it will load. | ||
