I here alot about zippeds roms but what are they really. I dont understand. Wouldnt a zipped rom take up more space on my mem stick. I NEED INFO!!!!!

a zipped ROM is opposite of what you said

what it does is condense the size of a ROM file by archiving it

so, if a ROM was 8 MB before, now it might only be about 5 MB

they are in a compressed (zipped) folder, which with some programs you may need to extract, however if an emulator can run zipped ROMs then it will save more space on your stick

But how do I make it that way???
