Are you saying... You downloaded some plugins, but you can't use them?

They are probably in a .ZIP .RAR or .7z

You need to uncompress them first..

7zip can handle all compressed files. WinRAR can handle RAR, ZIP, and I think 7z but I'm not sure.

If they're DLL files you just put them in the "Plugins" directory of your emulator's home directory..

So if for example you have an emulator at C:\psxemu then your plugins go in C:\psxemu\plugins

Practically all emulators come with a plugins directory that you can just drop files into.

Then load your emulator and go to your options menu, there should be a tab or some sort of section for Plugins, where you can configure the default plugin for Video, Sound, Controllers, etc.. Sometimes they are also maintained seperately, so in the video options submenu you would only see, and configure your video plugins, while over in the sound menu, you setup your sound plugins, etc etc..
