I have never got an emulator before and I want to know how to play games, I was reading in another post, and it said something about having to get you're own games from a search engine, Can some one give me details please.

P.S. I am not asking for games.

Actually you are asking for games...

I think some people would be rude about this but an emulator is possible to play legal games... You as the user are expected to follow the law and buy a generic EPRom reader, dump ROM's from the actual SNES cartridges YOU own, destroy the original carts, and then you may legally use that ONE ROM you made legally.

This is probably too expensive for you, so I think you should ask on another site

Aside from dumping the ROMs you own, you can also use ROMs whose copyright holders no longer exist, or ROMs placed in the public domain.

so you actually have to own the game before you can even use the emulator?

To legally use a commercial ROM yes, you have to own the game and rip the ROM directly from the cartridge you own. It would be much cheaper just to ebay it.

There is the illegal way, which we do not condone.

Or you could (rent) the roms online
