Sega Mega Drive (smd), so I would recommend the emulator Gens:

Also to save you space it allows you to play the ROM out of a Zip file:

http://www.winzip.com/

(Each ROM has to be zipped seperatly though).

Use winrar, instead. It's much better than winzip (it opens a lot more files...)
And welcome to the n00b club!

But because the Super Magic Drive is most widely available and even has a parallel port to connect to a PC (so you don't need a floppy), it is the most popular tool for dumping Mega Drive/Genesis ROMs with. Thus, smd file has become the "standard" format for these ROMs.

It's been many years so all of the above is dug up from my flesh and blood data storage - not very reliable

And sorry if I dug up an older thread for insufficient reasons. I'm bored and it's not like this section has much traffic anyway, hehehe.
