    Pretty accurate listings to me.

    Dreamcast section needs to add nullDC, though.

    lizard81288, there are too many systems.

    Nobody's going to try to give you such a long list.

    You need to narrow it down to your most often played systems.

    I'll tell you right now though to use Kega Fusion for every Sega system that it supports.

    I linked you to a site that has a list of emulators for pretty much every console. Did you bother checking it?

    Still, the site Evans linked isn't that hard to figure out, just look at the top ones. Anyway, I used Project64 for N64, ePSXe for PS, ZSNES for SNES and Visual Boy Advance for GBA.

    nes - Take your pick: FCE Ultra, Nestopia, VirtuaNES, Nintendulator, NNNesterJ, JNes...try them and see which one you like the best.

    You might want to check out Mednafen, which can emulate several systems:
    http://mednafen.sourceforge.net/

    snes - SNes9x & ZSNES, also bsnes if your comp is good enough

    n64 - Project64 and 1964 will play just about every game, might want to get Mupen64 too.

    psx - ePSXe, PSXeven, pSX Emulator (psfin), Xebra...in that order

    DC - NullDC & Chankast. Keep an eye on Demul and Makaron too, as they're both promising.

    arc - MAME & Kawaks or FinalBurn Alpha. You'll also need other emu's for those few games that MAME & Kawaks can't emulate yet, like Model 2 and Crystal System roms:
    http://nebula.emulatronia.com/descargas.php

    Also Zinc, Viva Nonno and Daphne.

    But once again, you should try out all the arcade emulators to see what features they have, so you'll pick out the one you like best.

    gba emus - Visual Boy Advance & No$GBA

    That's because most of the ones they list there are good emulators, unlike Zophar's which has a mix of good and bad.

    (forgot to mention that before)

    Then get MAME, and you're pretty much set.
