All right, a little glossary here:
Emulator
A program for the computer that can play console / CD games. The Emulator you download needs to be a good one so that it'll be able to play ANY game you send its way.
The BEST Examples:
SNES Emulator: ZSNES
GBA Emulator: Visual Boy Advance
etc.
ROM
The actual game data. These you can find online (through BitTorrent sites, or maybe not, depending on where you look for them and which games you seek). Some ROMS come inside ZIPed files, which, depending on your emulator, will require you to unzip the files or not.
