building a console emu pc

[daywane]

I have been thinking of a new project. (like I need more to do)

I want to build a pc ( home built case even) for console emus.

I would like some links please to the best ( YUCK   comand line) emus so I can run a front end with them
OS will be determand on the requirments of the emus and front end or ends.

ther was a program I liked the looks of before but I lost it and all links to it
It hade the most comon consoles and a arcade cab in a circle. with the joy stick you picked the game system you wanted. I qiut on it since windows ME hated it. I could use 98se
also insted of pionting this program to the emu's exe file can I send it to a Frontend to the emu?

Hope I made this understandable.
well I must be off to work . I will check back in the morn. thanks in advance

A modded Xbox can emulate just about anything from an Atari 2600 to the N64...
