In simple terms, emulation refers to the ability to imitate another program or device. In our case, we are imitating a video game console on a computer.

Most emulators you download from here will be portable (meaning all the files are in the downloaded folder). And if you are confused, most of the time there is also a file called "readme.txt" or "readme.md". Just open that file in notepad and it'll tell you how to open and use the emulator. If your still having trouble, reach out to me through the Help/Suggestions Form.

Games for emulators are referred to as "ROMS". These are the way you will get your games. I will update and add ROMS as often as I can. But please remember, piracy is illegal and a crime almost everywhere.

Most emulators will need you to set up a game directory. A game directory is just a folder you need to make on your computer to house your games for that emulated console. Most of the time the emulator has a big button to add your game directory, and it is only needed to be done once.

Most of the time, you're going to need to navigate through the menus on top of the emulator. You can always change the settings of any emulator, but everyone is going to be slightly different.
