Hi,

Amstrad emulators use DISK images which are files ending with .dsk, for example rainbow.dsk, but these are included in zip files for smaller size. These dsk files contain the actual games. You can find many such zip files that contain dsk files at
ftp.nvg.ntnu.no/pub/cpc/

After you download an emulator like Caprice32 (http://www.caprice32.cybercube.com/) or WinApe32 (http://winape.emuunlim.com/) you can use these zip files with the emulator. You don't have to unzip these files. The emulators can use the dsk files in the zip files directly.

For more details on loading the games you can look at my reply at
