Step 4: You can download the rom once you have found it.
It's a good idea to check for viruses on this as well.The abbreviation of the console is usually depicted in the roms file extension.
Step 5: The majority of ROMS come in compressed formats.
You need a program that can decompress them, such as WinZIP or 7-Zip.It is possible to leave the ZIP file compressed and just put it in its own folder.All of the save files should be put into the created folder.
Step 6: The default folder for some emulators is the rom file, so make sure it's there.
You will have to set your own folder if there is no automatic set up.A box will appear to select your game file if you have a (File> Open ROM) option.
