			I love the Shining Force series, so when I found out I could try the roms, I went in search of a place to get them at. Well I found SX, and now I could use a little help. I can never get into an ftp site, so I just go to the SX hub in d.c. and I search for Shining Force Cd , thats just about the only game I want right now. So there are a few types I can download, compressed files like .rar or .zip or .ace, or iso's.....When I download a .rar or an ace or zip, all I get is a few songs from the game. So, what do I have to do, to get the actual rom, do I have to burn the iso or whatever.....please help, I am a little confused ???

			Zips and rars usually have the iso file along with the music from the game. So you should be safe downloading ne of those. of course i could be wrong.

			well what do I do once i download the zip or ace or rar? How do I play it?

		Rambler		Jul 16, 2002

			The newbie section is no more. Try reading some of the guides in the Miscellaneous Section....

			mal, you seem to know a lot all I want to do is play a sega cd game on my computer, do I have to burn a cd to do this, or can i just open the files in an emulator like kega

		mal		Jul 16, 2002
			As others have said..., it depends on the emulator. Try reading the Gens manual... and the Kega manual... and see if they help. I haven't used any SCD emulators so I just don't know.
