Sourcing

Pick games for one of the top100 lists on gamefaqs: SNES, GBA, N64, PS2
I tend to stick to the top 20, with some franchise / genre specific exceptions.
Metacritic is a decent fallback for finding good games.

• Use archive.org nointro roms¹: SNES, GBA, N64
• Vimm's Lair for more recent stuff like PS2 and Gamecube
• I used emulatorgames before I learned about nointro rom sets

Gamefaqs is also by far the best to find walkthroughs if you get stuck.

Emulation

I use Lakka on my raspberry pi 4 with the following emulators:

• GBA: mgba
• SNES: snes9x
• N64: mupen64plus-next

For (at least most) N64 games to run smoothly, I had to OC the gpu heavily and the cpu mildly:

arm_boost=1
over_voltage=6
v3d_freq=800
core_freq=850

TLOZ-OOT continues to run like shit, if you know how to make it run smoothly, please email me.

PCSX2 runs like a charm on my pc
