Getting started on arcade emulation

[HeroesOfTomorrow]

Good day, you lovely people: today I'm here to ask for guides and general tips to get started on the arcade emulation scene. There are so many good games that were made for arcade that never got a console release/port, or never even came to my country at all, let alone the town I live in, and I would like to experience the lot of them.

Of course, arcade emulation is trickier than console emulation: arcade games were made as unique units rather than working on a single console. They all had their own quirks and traits, and even though they might share engines, each cabinet made for a game is different from another made for a different game

So, with that in mind, I wanted to see what you tech-savy players can suggest to me: emulator front, bios necessary, settings I should run, rom I should get over others and so forth. I know it is a very much case-by-case kind of deal, so I will also bring up time-to-time what game I'm trying to run but failed so far. But I'm sure the more I can get to work, the easier it willl get. Thanks in advance!
