If you put the game in the same directory ZSNES is in, you should be able to find it easily with the file loader. If the file is in RAR or 7z format, you must extract the contents of the file.

You can also drag the game file over the ZSNES exe and then let go and ZSNES will automatically run the game (in Windows at least). Im pretty that's windows' default behavior: if you drag a file over an exe windows will open that file with that exe.

Windows will start that program and pass it the name of the drag'n'dropped file as the first parameter. The program will then open the file if it's programmed that way.

Drag'n'drop was not recommended for ZSNES though because of some path issues (but they may be fixed now).
Just use the internal file browser.

I'm pretty sure I fixed that a while back.
