   Personally, I use the website coolrom.com to downloads my ROMs.
   
   Another alternative is romhustler.net ,, In Snes9X, this can be done by going to the File menu, and then clicking 'Load Game...'
   -- all you have to do then is locate your ROM file and double-click it.
   
   Most if not all SNES emulators will follow a similar process by which to load up ROMs, so if you use a different one, do not fret. , Happy gaming!
