I've used RetroArch a bit, mainly on my modded Wii, which uses RetroArch to run older emulated games.  On my PC (Windows), not too long ago I ran across Mednafen, which is another multi-system emulator using different cores.  It looked like Mednafen also supports multi-player gaming over the internet.

Recently I bought a Raspberry Pi CM4 and a RetroFlag GPi2 gaming case (it's a hand-held gaming case that looks similar to an original Nintendo Game Boy).  Its instructions mentioned using Recalbox as the emulation platform - I hadn't heard of Recalbox before, but it seems to work fairly well, but I've noticed a couple odd things.  Aside from its built-in controls, it's suppoesd to be able to work with Bluetooth & USB controllers, but I've had a hard time getting either to work with it.  Also, its controller configuration is a little wonky.. RetroPie is another one I've heard about for Raspberry Pi systems, and I've been tempted to give that a try.
