Game emulators and roms?
I've been reading about game emulators and roms, but I'm not exactly sure what they are and how to use them. I know I have to download the emulator(s) I want, and then the roms to play them, but what does the whole game consoles thing have to do with anything? Help would be great, tyvm! ^.^

game emulator is a software that allow PC to play certain game roms as it is played on the console. while roms are the program inside the cartridge game for console. However there are some features that cannot be provided with PC so there are some games and features that cannot be played on emulator. For example Game Boy Advance has a motion sensor in the console, there are some game that use it as input.
