I've tried nearly every popular Emulater out there, no success. I need an emulater that actually WORKS with Windows XP Home. Know any good ones? I really, really, want to play Final Fantasy :D.

Try www.consoleclassix.com.
An account there is completely 100% free.
Downloading the NES emulator is 100% free.
Playing games on said emulator is also 100% free. (they also have a large selection of games)
However, playing SNES games is not free, but don't let that discourage you.
It's also 100% legal. Kind of like a video game rental place. They're legal using the exact same spot in the law that makes Blockbuster legal(Blockbuster lobbied for it).

Wow, this emulater is very impressive. I like the fact that you launch DIRECTLY from the site, so being this is legal and it doesnt take up as much space! Thanks for the emulater.

Emulators are legal, ROMs aren't. Some company that has something to do with copyrights says you can only make one backup of a game that you own, and you have to make it yourself, can't get it from someone else. When you disown the game, the backup must be destroyed. That 24-hour-is-okay rule you see on rom sites? It's lies.

But do we really care, anyways? Nope. For WinXP I use FCE Ultra for NES, ZSNESW for SNES, and Project64 for N64.

Not totally, NES ROMs are legal now, they've been public domain for years, Nintendo has released many offical statements about it. SNES ROMs are not legal unless the said person charges for them (this is why rentals are legal), same with all newer-system ROMs.
