Heads up since everyone is recommending Retroarch:

Retroarch has a SIGNIFICANT learning curve. There are so many settings hidden in menus and submenus. I recommend looking up some YouTube videos before diving in if you're a fist-timer, since it can get overwhelming really quickly.

If I may add a counter-argument. I avoided RetroArch for years due to this, but it is only partially true. If you are even a little bit proficient in using a computer, it will feel slightly finicky, but once you have it setup, it is pretty easy. Many things in emulation or hacking are much more complicated. I now use Retroarch daily and feel kind of stupid for avoiding it.

Use Dig as a front end to retro arch and you never have to worry about it. Of course since android 12, setting up dig has had its own mess wrt scoped storage and such
