Questions people ask before they buy
Do I have to set anything up?
Do I have to set anything up?
No emulators to install and no buttons to map — that is all done. There are two settings on your own computer worth checking the first time: turn off Windows Fast Startup and turn off Secure Boot. The printed guide in the box walks you through both.
How do I start it?
How do I start it?
Shut your computer down fully, plug PlayHer in, switch on and tap your boot menu key straight away — F12 on most PCs, F9 on HP, Esc or F8 on ASUS, F11 on MSI. Pick the USB entry from the short list that appears, and the games menu loads.
Can I play it on my TV?
Can I play it on my TV?
Yes. Connect your laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable before switching it on, then start up as normal. Picture and sound both go to the TV.
Can I use a controller?
Can I use a controller?
Yes, and we recommend it. Plug the controller or its USB receiver in before you switch the computer on. Our 2.4G wireless controller works straight away — add one to your order for $17.99.
What computers does it work with?
What computers does it work with?
Any Windows PC or laptop, and Intel-based Macs. Macs with Apple M1, M2, M3 or M4 chips cannot start from a device like this — if your Mac is from 2021 onwards, please check before ordering.
How many games are on it?
How many games are on it?
Over 100,000 games across more than 70 consoles, already sorted by system, on 500GB of storage.
Will this touch my computer?
Will this touch my computer?
No. Nothing is installed and nothing is written to your internal drive. Everything runs from the device — unplug it and your computer is exactly as it was.
Will my progress save?
Will my progress save?
Yes, in every game, the same way it worked on the original hardware. Saves live on the device, so they travel with it.
Can I add my own games?
Can I add my own games?
Yes. With PlayHer running and on your Wi-Fi, open the Network section of any other computer at home, go into the share folder then roms, and drop files into the folder for that system. Full instructions are in the guide that comes in the box.

What if it doesn’t work when it arrives?
What if it doesn’t work when it arrives?
Email support@myplayher.store and we'll walk you through it. One important thing: if your computer asks to format the drive, say no — formatting erases the preloaded games.
