First you gotta think, "What computer do I want to emulate".
All the popular (best-selling) computers/consoles can be emulated.
An emulator is simply a program that acts like the real thing.
These are the emulators I use
AMIGA - WinUAE, or Winfellow
C64 - CCS64 or WinVICE
C128 - WinVICE
VIC20 - WinVICE or PC-VIC
C16/PLUS4 - YAPE
ATARI 800 - AtariWINpLUS
MSX - NLMSX
AMSTRAD - CAP32
ATARI ST - STEEM
Consoles
ATARI 2600 - STELLA or Z26
NINTENDO - JNES
and there loads more.
for your games/program must come as Disk Images or Tape Images, which act like the real disk for your emulator your using.
Cartridge consoles are usually called ROMs
I recommend to begin with, select an easy system you were fimular with in the past, Atari 800, C64, Amstrad, etc.
and download your favorite game to test it for the first time (disk image or Tape image).
After a while you will get fimular them.
Then you will easily have no problems in emulating more advanced computers such as Amiga, Atari ST, and even systems you have never used before or heard become easy to emulate too.
Then go for the Arcade Machines (MAME), and even 286-486 DOS games.
ALways go for the latest versions of your emulators, as many of the systems are still in early stages of emulation.
Hope this helps...
