24 hours is because you don't actually own the game, so it's considered copyright infringement. You own a copy of a game without Nintendo's permission or paying for the game. Everyone uses emulators, so just keep playing after 24 hours. Anyway, that's not a great Christmas present since you can download ROMs online for free. Just search SNES ROMs, that should lead you to many sites full of emulators. ZNES is a popular emulator, as another user has said.

An emulator is the software that "emulates" an snes. (ZNES) is a popular one.

Games for emulators are called "roms" which you can download from many online sites (Legal disclaimer: You can only keep them for 24 hours unless you own the actual cartridge of the game)

You will open the flash drive and open the emulator program. Once inside the menu, you will click on "open rom" find the location of the games you downloaded and press open. The game should then play. SNES has some solid rom/games available online.

There are many rom sites out there, look for a legit option and make sure to check files for potential virus (I havent had problems but gotta be safe)

NES, Sega, and SNES are good emulators.

You open the emulator on it first. Then on the top click Load. Select the game (rom) file and it will play it. They key controls will very from emulator to emulator. There are several of them.

You will have to go in to the options menu on the emulator to see what keys control what.
