Gamecube/Wii - Dolphin
PSP - PPSSPP (the best)
PS2 - AetherSX2 or PCSX2
PS3 - RPCS3
Xbox - Xemu

[sweette]

GBA - my 3ds, used to use Delta
DS - same as above, also used RetroArch
3DS - Citra, sometimes Lime
Wii/Gamecube - Dolphin
PSP - PPSSPP
Switch - Yuzu, first I tried and I’m lazy to change

 

[Natsuyasumi]

On my Mac Mini, I use OpenEmu for everything N64 back to NES, PPSSPP for PSP, ReDream for Dreamcast, Dolphin for GameCube, Wii and NEO GEO

On my Android Devices I use Lemuroid for everything 16 bit and earlier besides SNES, then SNES9X, ePSXe, FlyCast, M64FZ, PPSSPP and Drastic.

I play most stuff on my modded 3DS nowadays. There I use:

NES: VirtuaNES
SNES: Snes9x
GB and GBC: mGBA
GBA: open_agb_firm
Mega Drive: PicoDrive
DS and Game Gear: Twilight Menu++
3DS and DSiWare natively

Outside of my 3DS I use:
PS1: Duckstation
PSP: PPSSPP
MSX: openMSX
PC-98: Neko Project 21/W
GameCube and WiiWare: Dolphin
N64: Mupen64Plus

Everything standalone because I don't like RetroArch, except when it comes to Mega CD emulation because I haven't made the switch in that case yet. I use the Genesis Plus GX core for that.

If you want a standalone emulator for Sega Mega Drive, you should try "jgenesis":
https://github.com/jsgroth/jgenesis

It's new, have GUI, accurate, also emulates Master System, Game Gear, Mega CD, 32x

For me are the following on PC:

Arcade Games (MAME)
Atari - 2600 ~ 2800 (Stella)
N - Family Computer ~ N Entertainment System (FCEUX)
Sega - Mega Drive ~ Genesis (KEGA Fusion Despite being an outdated emulator but it works excellent)
N - Game Boy (mGBA)
N - Super Famicom ~ Super N Entertainment System (bsnes-hd Because it has widescreen support but it's not perfect, yes)
Sony - PlayStation (DuckStation)
N - 64 (RMG) (It is on a good track throughout development)
Game Boy Color (mGBA)
Sega - Dreamcast (Flycast)
Sega - Naomi & System SP ~ Sammy - Atomiswave (Flycast)
Sony - PlayStation 2 (PCSX2)
N - Game Boy Advance (mGBA)
N - GameCube (Dolphin)
N - DS (MelonDS)
Sony - PlayStation Portable (PPSSPP)
N - Wii (Dolphin)
N - 3DS (Azahar because Citra is outdated today)

Although very soon I plan to emulate more systems but hey.

ePsxe, PPSSPP, Aethersx2 and Drastic. I'm still looking for a good 3ds emulator that can play everything but it's not that easy !

[Amakuchi]

I don't use too many, but the standalones I use are: PCSX2, RPCS3, shadPS4 and Yuzu.
Everything else is under Retroarch, mainly for RetroAchievements. Although, every now and then I use Duckstation for PS1 games.

 

[Deleted member 608669]

<joking> Wait, emulate? WHAT?! You can emulate video games...
I knew that filthy goblin shaman lied to me... I should have stabbed him when I had the chance...
They told me you had to buy the games...

Filthy goblins!!! Goblinating my money... AHHH!!! Table! Table! Get my sword...
What, huh? Sword is on vacation. Oh, okay.

<shakes head> Brurururur
But most of the time, I emulate Dreamcast, and use Flycast for that, and PCSX2 for PS2.

...goblins...

[loopy]

I gotta specify, mGBA for Retroarch is good.
mGBA standalone is bad (on my pc anyway). Either the video stutters very badly (might be due to my >60hz monitor according to the dev), or the audio crackles.
The 'Sync' setting being set to 'video' fixes the video stutter, 'Sync audio' fixes the crackling (mostly), but having both settings turned on brings back both issues.

I would use Nanoboy advance but it has no shader support, and no libretro core.

Retroarch-mGBA-core has none of these issues, best GBA emulator IMO.

 

[Rox00]

For emulation, I generally use:
NES - FCEUX.
SNES - BSNES.
N64 - Simple64.
Gameboy/Gameboy Advance - MGBA.
Gamecube/Wii - Dolphin.
DS - MelonDS.
PS1 - Duckstation.
PS2 - PCSX2 (Night Build specifically).
PS3 - RPCS3.
PSP - PPSSPP.
Genesis - Kega Fusion.
Dreamcast - Redream.

 

[MegaDrive1987]

Mega Drive - Kega Fusion
NES, SNES, PC Engine, PC Engine CD, PS1 and Saturn - Mednefan
GameBoy Advance - mGBA
PS2 - PCSX2
GameCube - Dolphin
Dreamcast - Flycast
Amiga - Amiberry
Atari ST etc - Hatari
ZX Spectrum - FBZX
MSX - OpenMSX
C64 - Vice
3DO - Opera Core on RetroArch

I haven't got an N64 emulator installed yet as I've not bothered to do it and won't be playing any of those games for a while, suggestions are welcome though.
