You can load roms from SD card (Front SD or SD Gecko), USB, DVD, or SMB share. Note that if you are using the Homebrew Channel, to load from USB, DVD, or SMB you will first have to load FCEURX from SD, and then set your load method preference.

If you are planning to use your Network (LAN) to load and/or save games from you will need to enter in the SMB share settings you have setup on your computer via the Settings menu. You will need to enter in the SMB Share IP, Share Name, Share Username and Share Password.

User guide

Famicom Disk System (FDS)

FCE Ultra RX supports loading FDS games. The FDS BIOS is required - put it in your fceugx folder, and name it disksys.rom (should be 8 KB in size).

You can switch disks using the A button (by default). The mapped button can be changed under Controller Configuration ("Special" button).

Compatibility is limited, so check that the game in question works on FCEUX for Windows before asking for help.
