i read all the read me and stuff like that but i do not no how to play any games can some one help me and again i am new to this.

[I.S.T.]

All you need to do is put your games in the same folder, go to LOAD when running zsnes, and the rest is self-explanatory.

Make sure the games aren't compressed with either Winrar(You'll know because the game's filename will end in .rar) or 7zip(The file name will end in .7z). Plain zip or uncompressed is fine.

Also, I'd suggest taking another look over the readme as well. I've found if you miss something while reading it over the first time, reading it a second helps. You'd be surprised what you can miss the first time.

i really dont no what to do can you please give me it step by step i just want to play megaman and mario

[Deathlike2]

If the games are downloaded have the 7z or RAR extension and the end of the filename, you will to use software such as 7-Zip to extract the games from the file.

OK, you're NOT allowed to ask for ROMs here. ROMs are illegal. Obtain them in your own way.

Le sigh...

Ok, step-by-step (day by day lol):
Download latest version of ZSNES.
Download 7-zip, just in case you need it.
Install 7-zip, accept default answer to questions.
Extract ZSNES by right clicking on the zsnesw151.zip file you downloaded, choosing the "7-zip -> Extract to zsnesw151/" Option.

*IF you are using Vista, place the zsnesw151 folder somewhere where you can actually read/write to the damn thing. Search these forums if you don't know where, I don't use Vista and I can't be bothered to search for you.

The program is now inside the zsnesw151 folder called zsnesw.exe, you can double-click it to run it, create a shortcut for your desktop/start menu, whatever.

In order to play any SNES games, you will need an electronic copy of the game, generally called a ROM (simplifying things for him guys). It is against the rules of this forum, and for good reasons, to ask for these ROM's or information on how to obtain them.

In any case, to play a SNES game once you have the game you want to play, you start ZSNES, choose "Game -> Load", and navigate to the game you want to play. Voila!

Pro-Tip: Sometimes the ROM comes compressed. An uncompressed ROM will generally have a *.smc extension, whereas compressed ROM's can come in .zip, .rar, .7z, or various other formats.

If you can't figure it out from the above, you need to have someone do it for you or take some general computer/internet classes.
