2) Where it says create a new database type in holodb and click 'Create'
3) You now have a database but you still need to import the retro files
4) Click on your database (holodb) on the left hand side and then click the Import button (between Export and Description or
(Ctrl+F it)
5) Click choose file and import the Database in your Holograph Emulator folder (Holograph Emulator\Resources\db\holodb.txt)

PART E: Installing your hotel

1) Go to your Holograph Emulator folder located on your desktop
2) Go to Go to Holograph Emulator\bin\debug\bin\mysql.ini and open mysql.ini
3) Open mysql.ini in a text document (since you will need to change some of the text) Notepad etc.
4) Fill in the details (something like this):
[mysql]
host=localhost
port=3306
database=holodb
username=root
password=password
5) Simply change the password to the XAMPP password you setup earlier.
6) Then save it.
7) Now go to http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1
8) An installer should appear on your browser for PHPRetro
9) Go through the installer writing out all the details asked (dont worry this isn't a hack/scam)

And now...
ONCE YOUR FINISHED!!
You have your own PHPRetro and Holograph Emulator running!

But we still haven't finished.

PART F: Setting up DCR's, Variables and texts.

1) Go to Housekeeping on your website or http://localhost/housekeeping/ or http://127.0.0.1/housekeeping/
2) Go to Loader settings.
3) There will be 3 fields: Habbo DCR/Variables/Texts
4) Fill in as:
Texts - http://www.habboforall.com/v26/external_texts.txt
Variables - http://www.habboforall.com/v26/external_variables.txt
DCR - http://www.habboforall.com/v26/habbo.dcr
Or find your own dcr's, variables and texts using RageZone or Google.
