Question -
I just downloaded a Super Nintendo Emulator and i was wondering how to get games onto it. I cant figure it out. Help would be appreciated. Thanks

Answer -
With computer emulators, what you now need is called a ROM. ROMs are basically files that represent the original game. There are some really good rom sites out there, these are probably the best for SNES roms:
* http://www.rom-world.com/dl.php?name=Super_Nintendo
* http://www.freeroms.com/snes.html
* http://romhustler.net/roms/snes
* http://www.coolrom.com/roms/snes/
* http://www.romnation.net/srv/roms/snes.html
Remember that you need to own the original game to legally download a ROM. Hope this helps.

Answer -
You actually have to open the ROM from the emulator, not open the ROM, as the emulator isn't properly installed on Windows - it's just a file. You'll need to open your emulator, and use File > Open or some similar command. If you tell me what emulator you're using I can guide you.

Answer
Alright. To make it simpler, copy your rom file into your C: drive. Now, open up ZNES. You may see a box in the middle, hit space to get rid of it. Go into Game > Load. On the right of the box that appears, there will be a long list, with an option of '..' (i.e. two dots). Keep repeatedly double clicking it till you get to the point where it no longer does anything when you double clicking. In the list on the left, if you go up and down you should find your rom. Double click on the name of the rom and the game will be open.
