I just downloaded the Strange Mario World but don't know how to start playing it or other hacked roms because of .ips files. Does anyone know how to use or open .ips files?

You need a ROM of the original Super Mario World, then you need to patch the IPS onto that ROM with an IPS Patcher. Here are a few patchers to choose from.

Ok. I downloaded and installed the ipsXP onto my computer and I'm still lost. Now what?

Get Lunar IPS ... there you can't make anything wrong, since it only has two options: Apply IPS Patch and Create IPS Patch (unlike SNES Tool what is not primarily a patcher).

First backup your ROM, then apply the patch to the copy of your ROM:
"Apply IPA Patch", then you first need to selext the .ips file, second comes the ROM itself. Make sure you select the Super Mario World ROM.
That was it.

Have fun running your ROM in your emulator.

Detailed guide:

1. Google for "Super mario world snes rom download" or whatever. Emuasylum would probably have it.
2. Download the SMW ROM.
3. Google ZSNES. Get it too.
4. Get Lunar IPS.
5. Open the StrMW IPS.
6. Create a copy of your SMW ROM.
7. Patch the ROM.
8. Run the patched ROM in ZSNES.

Yes, it worked. The Strange Mario World file already had the Lunar IPS symbol on it after I downloaded it. I just selected SMW, then it was sucessfully patched. I load the game up on my ZSNES and it gives me Strange Mario World. Thanks for all your help to everyone.
