So When I open dolphin, it says it cannot find any roms, so i go into library to find it and drag it into dolphin but it says unexpected parameter. I have no idea what any of this means. I just want to play simply like project 64, is this possible ?

Have you tried adding a ROM folder in Config > Paths?

Next to default iso there is 3 dots ? I click them but then my rom is not there. Ill press file open from dolphin and the rom will not be there either untill I go to all files and when i try to open it, ill get a black screen for a few seconds then it will dissapear. I'm very unfamiliar with this kind of stuff. I thought id be able to just drag it in like P64

No, I meant the "Add..." button above that.

Then it sounds like you don't have a proper ROM. What is the size and file name extension of it? (The file name extension is typically .iso, .gcm, .gcz or .wbfs)

I just sent the file to a compressed folder, then extracted it. the extracted file can be added in to paths. but it still does not work. i just get the black screen followed by dolphin closing

It's not working because you pirated your games

Cheers
