>>17340711Like the other anon said, you'll get a better answer if you share which consoles in particular you're trying to emulate.
Most people recommend Retroarch these days since it acts as a sort of all-in-one emulator for several consoles. You use it by downloading whatever emulators you need within the app itself; it refers to these as "cores." I could be be biased since I've been emulating games for over fifteen years myself, but I honestly find it more annoying to use than just using standalone emulators for whichever console I'm trying to play.
Every emulator that I've used is very well documented and pretty easy to set up. Here's a pic of everything that I like to use.
