I'm desperate to play FE6, and the only way I can do that is by downloading an emulator and emulation. (I'm assuming sweatdrop )

So~ Does anyone have a good site I could use to get these things?

Google "Visual Boy Advance", it's the most used GBA emulator for English speakers.
As for ROMs, Google (insert game title) ROM. Unless you are on a Chinese website, it's otherwise illegal to ask for and supply websites to ROMs.

Visual Boy Advance is the one I personally always used. It plays FE6 and the other games very well. I've never encountered any problems with it from my recollection. Honestly, I think it is the best emulator for GBA and GB games.

But yeah, just google it and you should be able to locate it easily.

Visual Boy Advance hasn't been updated in a few years though. If you're looking for a more updated Gameboy Advance player, try looking for Visual Boy Advance - M. You can also try NO$GBA to play both Gameboy and DS games. Visual Boy Advance should be more than enough to suit your needs, even if it is a little outdated.

In terms of DS games, I STRONGLY recommend getting a flashcard for your actual system, versus playing it on your computer. I haven't tried 3DS flashcards yet, but my Supercard DStwo for my DSi works very well.

I have tried SNES and GBA flashcards, and they have issues with saving, unfortunately.

It'll probably run much smoother on a flash card. I know that for example, FE12 has some sound issues with mine.(I think it's a problem that most people seem to have with it) But in-game it plays fine but no sound effects.

It's mostly depending on how well the computer system is.
