Use the search function

I feel like being nice today:

It's actually not that complicated, it's just that there's multiple programs. I'll give you the down-low. The two best n64 emulators are 1964 and Project64. However, if you want to play online you need Project64k. 1964 is a better emulator and has more features, but Project64 is compatible with more games. (Though, when version 1.7 comes out that should change).

You have 3 plugins: Graphics, Audio, and Input. Graphics and Audio you should leave alone, but you need to set up your Input plugin. You can set it up to the keyboard, but if you have a gamepad you can set it up to that. Then you get ROMs and start playing!

For online play in Project64k, go to File-->Start Netplay. Then join one of the servers; Emularena Grounds has the far most n64 matches. Then just start or join a game!

1964 is compatible

In fact, people have made hi-res textures for it!

As for where to search...google

Both 1964 and Project64 are compatible with Ocarina of Time.

Google is a good place to search for roms.

Help from other people is limited to an extent.

I figured out everything on my own with no help at all.

took me about, 1/2 year. You'll catch on quickly, though.

Once you get then hang of using emulators, it'll be easire than buttering your bread. (which actually can be hard sometimes, depeneding on the type).
