So I'm expecting my first ever Wiz any day now and I want to be prepared to use it when it arrives. I have some questions that I would love to get some help on.
1. I downloaded a few emulators - NES, SNES, Sega, and MAME. When I extracted the downloads for NES, SNES, and Sega, they created File Folders for each. Do I just copy the file folders to my storage card in order to get them to work or is there more to it than that?
2. When I extracted the MAME download, it didn't create a file folder like the others. Instead, it created a "7Z" file. Again, do I just need to copy this file to my storage card for the emulator to work, or is there more to it than that?
3. My next question is about the ROMS I downloaded. Like the emulators, I extracted the files and each one created a File Folder. Do I just copy the file folders to my storage card for them to work or is there more to it than that?
4. Should I create folders on my storage card for each emulator and then sub-folders for each game? In other words, do they need to be organized on my storage card in a certain way in order for them to work or does it not matter?
5. Finally, what does it typically mean when there is more than one ROM file to choose from? For example, when I go to download Michael Jackson's Moonwalker (here: http://www.theoldcomputer.com/roms/index.php?folder=Sega/Megadrive-Genesis/m) there are 5 files listed. Do I need to download each file, or are they just different versions of the same thing?
Also, is there some sort of beginners guide or tutorial you can recommend I read that would help guide me through the initial setup process? I realize these are probably really noobish questions, but I've never used emulators or roms before so this is all new to me.
Thanks in advance!
