How do I run these games on my machine?
Well, there is not much rocket science involved in it. In order to be able to run these ISOs, ROMs on your machine you need a program that can enable your computer to behave like some other computer system. These programs are called emulators. Emulators are specially programmed to run on an operating system and understand the instructions from the game. Before starting, make sure you have the right emulator for your game.
How do I choose an emulator for my machine?
There are different emulators available nowadays which can run games designed for different machines. Here are the steps to get started with choosing an emulator:
- Different operating systems have different packages of Emulators. Choose your operating system and follow on with the emulators available for your OS.
- You can find on the website the best emulators for different ISOs, ROMs etc. The info can be found right on the page from where you downloaded your ROM.

How do I get my ROM/ISO from the downloaded package?
Emuparadise lets you download the game packages bundled in different formats like zip, rar etc. Most of the emulators don’t have the ability to read directly from such formats. So the best practice is to always uncompress the files by using a program to unbundle the files. The process simply requires you to extract the contents from the download zips etc. to some location on your machine. You can find a compatible program to extract the files from your downloaded file. And then using the program simply extract the files on your machine.
How do I run my downloaded ISO/ROM?
Now we expect the above step is complete and you have the ISO of your game extracted with you. Simply fire up your emulator you downloaded to run this game. You will find an option to run or open a ROM on your Emulator’s dashboard. Click on the option and choose your ROM. Click the option to run the game and you are good to go!
