(You will have to use winrar. Download here.)

Step 1: First you have to find an emulator you want. You will have to google it to find a game console specific emulator.

Step 2: Download, Save, and now you can start the emulator.

Step 3: The next thing you need to know about is ROMs. ROMs are basically the games you use on your emulator. A popular website for downloading ROMs can be found here.

Step 4: Download whatever ROM you want to play on your emulator. Once it is saved, extract the files to your emulator using WinRAR. (Download to WR is found above.)

Step 5: Play your free, retro game and enjoy. 8)
 
I suggest Visual Boy Advance as a GBA emulator, and CoolRom.com is a good site for ROMs.
 
Nice thread! I usually have trouble finding good and working emulators. Thanks
 
Nice thread, although I already have an old Nintendo DS that can play Gameboy Advance games, so I get the real thing.
