How to set up an emulator on a laptop?
I have a Windows Vista laptop and I need help setting up an emulator. The one I'm trying to set up is the PSX one (play station). Like i need step by step instructions on how to do it. Also where do I put the ROM files? And how can I set up the other ones like the N64 and GBA ones?

Hi friend. : )
[PSX EMULATOR]
For the PSX emulator, regardless of which one you are running, you're going to need to search the web for a file called "SCPH1001.bin" and place that in the directory that you install your emulator in, based on its own settings. I assume, you're probably using ePSXe. That's my personal favorite. That file is packaged seperately from most all emulators since the file itself can not actually be legally distributed with the package due to copyright laws. As far as PSX roms go, you'll probably want to try a bittorrent for those. IMPORTANT: You probably should have some pretty good antivirus running before attempting that. Once you have your roms, your bin file, you're going to want to go onto the offical site for the emulator ("www.epsxe.com" perhaps?)and download the plugins needed to run it. This process I believe is self explanatory. When you have everything configured correctly, go ahead and give it a shot.
N64
This ones easy. www.project64.com
That site will supply you with the project 64 emulator, last I checked it was the leading N64 emulator. The process of attaining roms for it is another story though. Maybe try www.coolrom.com or use reliable P2P software, like limewire or a bittorrent. Anyway.. Load up project 64, and then just open any rom you download.
GBA
I would highly recommend using the Visual Boy Advance for this one. Search for roms the same process as you did for the other two consoles.
I know I didn't touch into too much detail, but I'm very tired so I wish you the best of luck. Feel free to key in any of those search terms into good. Hopefully you'll get another answer shortly where someone goes a lot more in depth to it. See ya around! : )
