Once you have downloaded the emulator .zip file from one of the links above, place the Emulator VST file contained into the VST folder for your DAW
Next you will need to aquire the ROM file for either a Virus B or Virus C and place the .bin file into your VST folder (where the emulator resides)
If you have multiple roms (e.g Virus B & Virus C) the ROM that is chosen is not predictable so put only one ROM into the folder at a time.
