I'm a emulator first-timer! Can someone give me tips on how to begin?

[yellowflash]

Hi!

I've read all the help notes on the main Emulator Zone page, but I can't find any specific help, so I decided to come here.

My problems are:

1. Are there any things I have to do before I install the emulator?
2. What do I do after installing it? (>.<)
3. What about the games? Do I get them from the stores, or do I download them?
4. Frame rates?? Huh?
5. There's a specific game that I would really like to play: Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 3. I wonder whether this runs smoothly on the emulator, and also how to get it? Shops? Download? (Admin, I've read your rules about what to post; don't worry, I'm not asking where to get the games, just HOW to get them XD)

Thanks!

Gawsh, sorry people, I forgot to give the name of the emulator.

It's a Dolphin emulator, latest I think, just got it today , June 2nd, 2006.
For Gamecube games.

1.No.
2.You don't install it,it's useless,just as PS2/Xbox emulators,GC is not emulated.
The emulator has testing purposes only.
3.Most people go HERE.
4.Go to point 2.
5.You need a GC disc image.You Google for that.
Or,if you have the original search for tutorials on how to obtain that image.
Hint: No PC drive reads GC discs.
