I would like some recommendations for NES, SNES, N64, PSX, PS2, Wii, NDS and Gamecube libre emulators, if there’s something that can emulate at least various of the first consoles it would be even better, like Lemuroid does on Android. Thanks!

    I use Retroarch for everything up to N64 and PlayStation (beetle-psx, I think). Dolphin for Wii and Gamecube because I find it’s easier to configure games in its UI as I need, than using dolphin-libretro. I’m not sure what the meta is for NDS, and, and PCSX2 is basically the only thing going for PS2. I try to play PS2 games with PS3 ports in RPCS3 instead.

    EDIT: seeing @nothuman@baraza.africa 's comment, I’ll give some core recs for RetroArch:

    Gameboy/GBC: Gambatte

    NES: Nestopia

    SNES: Snes9x

    N64: ParaLLEl (works great for OoT rom hacks)

    PSX: beetle

      Thanks a lot for your detailed answer, I think I’m going to keep using RetroArch for everything before PSX and use the rest you mentioned for other stuff, although I don’t think I’m going to be playing PS3 games or something like that in a while.
