Let me break it down for you: First, download RetroArch, which you can find on Steam. Then, get a program like WinZip if you need it for extracting files. Organize your ROMs by creating separate folders for each console like N64 and GBA. For ROMs, you might check out emulatorgames.net. In RetroArch, manage your cores by installing the necessary emulators for each console. Have fun!
