Sega Naomi - I don't emulate this at all but I am fairly certain Demul handles it. Update: The Flycast core in Retroarch is now my recommended way of emulating Dreamcast. (Update: Redream is another great choice here, simple to setup but lacking WinCE game support as of this post) Sega Dreamcast - Stand alone emulators are your best bet here, Demul is the most accurate while NullDC is faster. Sega Saturn - The Retroarch Mednafen / Beetle core is very good but seems to require a bit more CPU over the stand alone version of Mednafen. Master System / Genesis - The GenesisGX Plus core is the clear choice here, it handles both along with the Sega CD and SG-1000 with near perfection. The Parallel core is more accurate especially when you factor in the AngryLion plugin but it drives up the CPU requirement by quite a lot.

Gameboy / Gameboy Color - Sameboy is supposed to be the most accurate core but the Gambatte core is great as well. Gameboy Advance - The best option here is the mGBA core. NES - Mesen core in Retroarch, near 100% accuracy. My personal choice lately has been Snes9x even though I have the CPU to drive BSnes and Higan because I can push the frame delay much higher which reduces input latency. Higan is the most accurate and up to date but will require a hefty CPU to power it. BSnes Balanced is more accurate but will require more CPU power. SNES - Snes9x for speed and is quite good for 99% of the games you would ever want to play. PicoDrive for 32x.Generally speaking the two are mutually exclusive but I will go through the list and give you my thoughts and suggestions. Genesis-Plus-GX for Genesis/SegaCd/Megadrive games. Mame2014 is not really used at the moment for me. FBA 2012/16 for CPS fighting games and Neo Geo. Mame 2003 for the majority of arcade games. PCSX1 is a new version similar to experiment with now.

PCSX-Neon is the best for PS1 so far and now optimized somewhat to get some things running under high-res mod. May need GPSP for more intensive/larger games which haven't tried. Tried GPSP but some games have graphical issues, like text doesn't show up. Was working fine for me with all games that I tried. Parallel is a new emulator to toy around with. There are a few more games that may boot under Mupen64. Not running that many obscure games or concerned about trying to get everything running on Canoe. SNES9X 2010 for SNES games outside of Canoe. Now there are patches to make those versions of DQIII and ToP work on Canoe, so only Ganbare! Daiku no Gen-san remains. After I had added most of the SNES games I was going to add to the system, I only had three games running in SNES9x via Retroarch: Dragon Quest III (with translation), Ganbare! Daiku no Gen-san, and Tales of Phantasia (also with a translation). For me, if there's any way to get an SNES game running on Canoe, I'll do it. I don't think it is true that it is better to use Retroarch+ an SNES core over Canoe unless you're interested in the netplay & achievements available through Retroarch 1.7.3, in which case it's required to use Retroarch. I just haven't played too much GBA on my SNES Classic, though. I never had any issues with mgba, but I remember people here reporting issues with it not running at full speed with some games. I was using mgba for GBA games until recently when kmfdmanic updated gpsp so that it worked better. Unfortunately, none of them ran too well in the core I used, which I think was mupen64 plus, but I haven't tried out the other one. I haven't really messed with N64 games too much aside from briefly trying them out. From that set, I use Retroarch Xtreme 1.7.1 (although I intend to move up to 1.7.2 eventually), PCSX Rearmed Neon for PS1 games, gbsp for GBA, and SNES9x 2010 for the few SNES games I can't get running on Canoe. First, I'll say that I use kmfdmanic's core sets rather than the ones you can download through hakchi2 CE's store.
