Empire, those are tar g-zipped files (hence tgz). I have a winzip package installed that unzips them. You can also use tar at the command line using the x-terminal application. You'll have to manually navigate to where the file is using the command line, then type the command:
tar -zxf filename.tgz
This is just the first step to uncompress the file. Then (probably) you'll have to run the install routine. There should be some install instructions on the web site you got the tgz file from.

Thank You! I extracted it but I got the files form pupnik.de and that doesn't tell me how to install it. Im trying to download the Snes emulator and Secret Myro chronicles.

Empire, I wrote a really good guide and a decent front-end for that emulator. Please search the forums, i spent almost half and hour writing that guide.

Being vague makes it way harder to help.

Do you have to do the chmod as root? If that's the problem just get rootsh for it.
