Right click on the file "Everything you need," hover over the 7-Zip setting and select "Open Archive," select the LSD Dream Emulator ISO and BIN files, and drag and drop them into the "Games" folder. The reason we are not using the emulator in this file is because the separate BIOS is in the other folder.
