How do I run a rom from the Emulator? and how do I quit when I'm finished with it?

First, run the emulator (which should be SNES9X). When it comes to the menu, on the top, it says, "Load Rom". Click the button. It will bring up a directory of your files, starting from the directory that you put the Emulator in. Find the file which was unzipped from the downloaded zip file. Double click it, and it will load up. Once the ROM loads up, it will return you to the menu. When the happens, click "RESUME" on the menu. This will start the game. To exit, during game play, click "Esc" on your keyboard. This will return you to the menu screen. Then click "Quit".

I've downloaded the SM Mouse Cursor, but I can't get it to work. How?

Well, to some people it's very simple, to others very hard. I'll make this brief, and simple. First, after downloading it, unzip it with WINZIP, (If you don't have winzip, or some kind of unziping tool, download WINZIP at www.Winzip.com
. After unzipping the file, you will end up with one file. Take this file, using cut and paste, move the file, from your downloaded directory, to (This is in your hard drive) C:\windows\cursors . Paste this file in. Now, the hard stuff is done, now comes the easy part. Once that part is done, Click "START", in the bottom menu, scroll up to "SETTINGS" and click on "Control Panel". In the Control Panel, click the icon named "MOUSE". Now yet another menu pops up. At the top, there are 4 areas, "Buttons", "Pointers", "Motions", and "General". We want to go into Pointers. Once you click that, you will see, the different types of pointers and what it's used for. To cusomize it, for instance, say you want to use the Spinning Venus Symbol. Well, first you must find which cursor you want to replace, I personaly would replace "Busy". Click the words busy, it should highlight the whole bar. Next, click browse. Find the unzipped file, double click it, then click okay. It's Done! Same for any other cursor.
