I downloaded a custom visual hack that changes Link's model for Ocarina of Time today. However, I don't know how to install it and I can't find anything on how to use it for bizhawk. Does anyone know how to use these visual hacks?

What platform are you talking about? Maybe Nintendo 64? What game are you talking about? Maybe LoZ OoT? Now back to discussion. A visual hack is usually the game with modified assets. That is if a game is called Mario.nes, the visual hack is an altered image of that with different assets and probably named differently, like Mario(best_versionevar4).nes. Now did you tried to load a game? The emulator will only load the game, it won't load other files (except firmware and maybe savefiles), so you probably just downloaded a simple model.

THe platform I am talking about is n64 and the game in particular is indeed Loz OoT. When I downloaded it I got a ".ppf" file extension for the mod. I just have no idead how to use it. Here is a link to the mod for reference https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/maco/oot-play-as-gerudo-fighter-t703.html

You need a tool named PPF-o-Matic, browse your ISO file and the downloaded visual hack and press apply. This will make you a new ISO file with the visual hack. Didn't posted links as didn't found good site without copyrighted stuffs.
