    Hey everyone,
    I just joined this website and I know nothing about ROMS or emulators. I'm a mac user, and if anyone could give me tips or, better yet, a step by step breakdown of what to do, it would be much appreciated.

    Look under the Tutorials section http://forum.romulation.net/index.php?board=35.0

    Games come packed you need to unpack them with a program like winrar http://www.win-rar.com/download.html

    Youtube can be of help also
