Best Emulator for every System
General means, the best in general. Nothing gets better than this. The other rows shows alternatives for RetroArch and/or Android.
For Android, it is always highly recommended to either get the App from F-Droid or the Github of the Project, _not_ Google Play Store. You don't cut a steak with a plastic spoon
