There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

I remember on Mac I had this one woth a red and black single joystick icon but I have no idea what to do for Windows...

Do i need a seperate emu for every distinct console or is there a more all in one kind of thing available?

My favourite is LaunchBox. It's a frontend that generally manages the emulators for you. Pulls metadata like boxart and release dates from a database. Free, but with a premium upgrade.

It handles everything for you, but you can also customize it to your liking!

It downloads emulators like RetroArch, Dolphin, PCSX2, etc. so you don't have to even worry about finding each one. But if you find a different emulator you'd rather use for something, you tell LaunchBox to use that. Super flexible!

The premium upgrade (which isn't necessary to make use of any of these features) goes on sale exactly once per year: Black Friday, which is coming soon. So if anyone else wants to support the project, now's the time. But even if you don't have money to spare, I highly recommend checking it out!
