New To SNES/NES/GB/GC Emulation - Game Extraction

[cutsryd]

4 separate emulators (after hours and hours and hours) #NEWBIE

GC has worked best oddly enough (for the one title I really want) and the others work OK but many of the roms are obviously quirky.

Some games extract fine some do not - I assume very common.


TWO QUESTIONS (at the moment lol):

1) Some files do not allow me to grab the zip and "Extract Here" and just open with all kinds of files and nothing that works. Maybe a Windows 10 thing??

2) Just downloaded NES Z:LTTP and there are 55 files after Extraction. I tried 3 or 4 and they seemed to work with different languages. Some are the same.
For an Extraction like that do I just pick any one that has a language I like?

Sounds like you downloaded the GoodMerged roms, if you want the best one in that set for english here is the file name.

Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past (U) [!].smc

I suggest you find the No-Intro rom sets for the best roms, GoodTools/GoodMerged sets are only good if you are lazy and want a hack/translated rom fast.

Nothing in that sentence resonates with my current knowledge level on the topic. LOL.

My learning curve has been fast, just a few days, with hours of video/blog/downloads. A Million downloads while I gained some success. So I ask because I would like to learn as I go.

Thx.
