Does anyone know how to download games onto an emulator? My friend had one set up for me a while ago, so I decided to download it again, but I can't figue out how to get games.

Bit torrent is usually a good place to find roms.

Try www.torrentspy.com

You can search a lot of bit torrent sites there.

Links to rom sites usually come and go as they're constantly getting shut down.

I download a bunch of Zelda roms for SNES, but for some reason they didn't go to the emulator. BTW, good guess.

Chrono Trigger is great :)

And bubble bobble is an all time classic. That was what I played most on my psp before I broke it.

You may be interested, I've had extensive experience using Emulators for the Windows platform. From what I gather you're a stupid dork :-P No sorry just kidding. Anyways it's simple man...

Emulator = Program that pretends it's the gaming console

ROM = Game

Put those together and you can play. Now for whatever reason if you did download roms and they wouldn't open using your emulator it's either because the emulator didn't support zip files, or you extracted them and the emulator only supported zip files LOL. Trust me even the worst emulator on this planet can run a ROM at least partially, so whatever you did wrong keep trying because I tell you they work.

I actually had an idea for a method to filter the GoodSets so only 1 of each game was left, but I kinda got tired of trying. With thousands of games for each system you'd really have to be mad to think collecting them made any sense, playing might work but until people match the release lists with the games and keep only 1 copy it's a headache.
