How do I run downloaded games on SSF?

[Charlie S]

I've got the SSF saturn emulator up and running, at the startup screen that lets you type in the date, look at the memory card, etc. But how do I actually play downloaded ROMS on it? There doesn't seem to be any way to do it in the "options", and under "File", the only selection that even looks like it could load anything is "State Load", which does nothing when clicked.

How can I play my downloaded ROMS on SSF?

Here's an old guide on how to emulate the Saturn.
It should still work.

The problem is that I can't seem to find anywhere on SSF that allows to you load the games in the first place. It is apparently working fine, as the Sega Saturn startup screen is there, but I'm clueless as to how loading ROMs is actually done. I could really use simplified details, and unfortunately I cannot figure it out by reading the guide.

Lets just say it like this: I have SSF up and running, and I want to play a ROM I donwloaded. I click on what, then what, etc...?

I haven't been able to get SSF up and running on my computer, but based on what the guide says about it, you have to select the drive where the image is loaded before you can start anything anyway. Therefor, if you have the drive selected, and you have your image mounted and whatnot, you should theoretically be able to run your game through the dashboard, it's the top left gold butten when your at the cd player part of the dashboard. If you hit that, it might work out for you, but as i said, i haven't gotten it to run yet so this is just an educated guess

First of you need to download Daemon tools or Alcohol 120%.(I prefer Daemon tools).
Then after installing Daemon tools,right click the Daemon tools icon at bottom right of your screen.
Goto virtual cd/dvd rom,then mount image of the game you would like to run.
Now your game image is mounted boot up the emulator and goto options
and select cd drive as GZK 0DQ3CD2NC (that is your virtual drive).
Also you must select the Area code your game is from ie:USA,EURO,JAP.And have the same matching Bios files to your Area(If you have not got the Saturn Bios then you must download them.)
Now just turn off and re-start your emulator.The game should start.;)

I've used Daemon Tools and I think I'm ALMOST there. The problem is that everytime I try to load a downloaded game, it says that the disc is "unsuitable". I think I've tried all of the bioses for SSF, so I doubt its that. I've tried several games as well.

What should I do?

When you change the bios make sure you change the area code to match.
example....(usa bios+Amercia area code).
Also each time you change the bios or area code you have to turn off the emulator and then re-start it again.;)
