Save your rom in a certain folder you like. Open up ZSNES, go to "file","open rom" then search the folder you put the rom in. The name of the game should come up.

Yes extract the rom, you can tell if a rom is extracted by the file size.
if it's something around 2,000 or more kb then it's extracted. Remember roms don't have icons or anything like that, it's just in a special format made for emulators to read like .nsm
Edit- Yea you can do what Kameo said too, I just never have that many roms and it just confuses me. But hey everyones different, try both and see what you like.

U don't have to extract the ROMz, the emulators can read them just fine when they R zipped, saves up lots of space on Ur disk if U have a few thousand of them ;)...
