DOS76 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 1st off do you have the emulators that are needed to run the roms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Welcome to the forums. Since you're asking a pretty general question I would suggest you check out the Launchbox Youtube channel and watch some tutorial videos to help you out. They provide pretty much all the necessary information to get you up and running. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSIht6UXIEXIgz4eXAEShxA/featured You can check out my Beginners Guide to Emulation there here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConnorBlair1996 Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 thank you, where is the best site to download roms? once a rom/game is downloaded, can i create a zip file with the game, as i've tried using WinRaR to no luck i'll check the link you posted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOS76 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 The site is trustworthy. Emuparadise is another good source for certain stuff and hit and miss for other stuff especially some disc based systems where some of the games aren't dumped correctly and won't work in some emulators.
