I decided to make a Full Video Tutorial Step by Step of on how to set up a Habbo Retro using the Zabbo Pack!
Release Thread Link:
The original video was over 3 hours long since I forgot some steps and had to backtrack, but after a lot of editing, it’s now trimmed down to 36 minutes. It took me 2 days to edit, mainly because I had to blur stuff out.
This tutorial covers everything you need, including:
Getting a domain and VPS server
Setting up Cloudflare and Turnstile Captcha
Adding a Cloudflare Nitro Page Rule for WebSockets
Setting up a Hetzner Windows server
Setting up PHP in IIS and a full IIS server for Habbo Retro use
Installing MariaDB MySQL
Configuring API and WebSockets for Nitro
Allowing ports in your VPS firewall for the emulator
Installing the Nitro Client and getting the camera working
Much more!
This setup can be applied to almost any Habbo Retro Setup Process, making it a great resource for beginners.
Please Note:
If you're using AtomCMS or OrionCMS and want to use this Zabbo Pack, you can easily use it since it's the same password hashing.
Setting Maintenance Mode:
You can do per account only by ranking yourself as owner Rank 19 in the database and you'll be able to rank them via housekeeping by editing the user account.
If your avatar doesn't show in-game or the client isn't loading and is stuck on 40%, the video cuts off around Make sure to add the .nitro MIME type.
First-time video editing
USE WINDOWS SERVER 2022 FOR HETZNER, not Windows Server 2025 on the video around 5:55 I mounted Windows Server 2025 on accident but I actually used Windows Server 2022 and forgot to edit out the Windows Server 2025 mistake.

If You Want The Full Source To The Nitro Zabbo UI Edit And The Zabbo MS Emulator Edit To Make Backend Changes/Updates
The ZabboUI Nitro Source is £60, that’s what I’ve sold it to others for it includes Private GitHub Repo access to the source and continuous life time future updates that I make to the Nitro Zabbo UI such as adding features and bug fixes, things people report that are bugged.
Zabbo MS Emulator Source Edit is £35 which has recoded path finder recoded and loads of more patches backend such as wired exploit fixes and fixes to nitro and emulator room settings to be in syncs and plenty of more bug patches, you’d also get access to the source and the future updates on Private GitHub repo.
Message me on Discord: justinretros if you'd like to buy the source if not happily use the free compiled frontend version, I am only mentioning this since recently loads of people have been messaging to buy it figure I will let everyone know how they can also get the source to be able to code it for their own project.
