Set Up Your Game Emulator on PC and Start Playing your favorite Games

After reading the article explaining how to Turn Your Computer into a Game Arcade with Emulators now you are ready with your Emulator and ROM's handy

Playing an emulated game is easy. Just open the correct ROM in the appropriate emulator. But there are still a couple of things you might want to know before making that leap.

For starters, more emulation programs will have your keyboard set as the default control input. That said, it also decides which keys do what, and you won't necessarily know what the controls are for a given game. It's a good idea to take a look at your emulator's default settings before beginning, just to get an idea of what the controls are. Games tend to be more fun when you know how to play them.
