Emulators and Roms are confusing me..

Discussion in 'Game Help' started by goldielockstherobot, Apr 9, 2010.

  1. I went and got a snes emulator from emulator-zone like this website suggested, but then none of the games you download here work on that emulator. where can i get a snes emulator that can support the games from this site? or am i doing something wrong?

    Download this emulator - Snes9x - http://www.mediafire.com/?h2nntb0knzo

    It is compatible with many types of the SNES roms and most of them I believe if not all.
     
  3. ok i downloaded it, but it says i wont be able to hear and effects or music or anything

    I don't use emulators on my computer.

    I either use my PSP, DS, or Wii...so I'm not sure what's up with this version of the emulator, but you should be able to use sound...I'll check it out.
     
  5. its not even just sound now though. the roms from this website do not work on either of the snes emulators i have....

    The roms work fine with ZSNES once you extract them.

    Right click on the 7z file and hit extract to or extract here.

    Get the file with the [!] in it.
    You can throw the rest away.
