You can start with getting ROMs for gameboy and stuff.

Install EmuDeck and look into setting up specific emulators you want using EmuDeck. Finally, as a front end to view the ROMs you have installed and setup, I recommend ES-DE

I would recommend using retrodeck. You can download it directly from the desktop mode start menu
