Using the files

How to use these prod keys

  1. Click the download link for the version you want.
  2. Save the prod.keys file to your computer — it stays a plain text file.
  3. Place it in your emulator’s keys folder using the paths listed above the table.
  4. Restart the emulator; keys are read at startup, never hot-reloaded.
  5. Install matching firmware if your games need system libraries as well as keys.

If a download produces prod.keys(1) or prod.keys.txt, rename it to exactly " "prod.keys — an extra extension is the most common reason an emulator reports no keys at all.
