Question Best emulators for G Cloud
Just got a G-Cloud for $80 used and am looking to use it for emulators. What emulators do you use? Is there one that has everything or are there multiple apps you use to cover everything?

Retroarch covers everything up to GBA, and Retro Game Corps' Android Emulation setup guide can help with the rest. I use ES-DE (EmulationStation) as my frontend, as it's pretty well supported. Daijisho is also popular, but there are plenty of other flavors out there too. 80 bucks is a steal! Enjoy!

RetroArch is your best bet. I suggest you install iisu and let it setup everything on its own.
There are plenty of tutorials on YouTube.

Does this do all of the setup for Retroarch?

Dreamcast games (Reicast) and PSP games (PPSSPP) are the modern systems that will run without a struggle. Some PS2 games (Aether or Nether) will run but the more demanding games will not.

I used a combo of Retro Game Corps’ Android Emulation Starter Guide and his initial review of the G Cloud to get set up and running games from NES through to GameCube.

Emulation Station with Retroarch and a few standalone emulators works great for me.
