I recently got a hacked PSP and I've read here it's the best portable machine for emulating retro.
What are the essential emulators and games for them?
There's so many I'm at a loss.
As long as you don't have any hopes of playing all SNES titles perfectly or 5th Generation consoles save the Playstation 1, you'll be fine.
Check /vg/emugen's wiki for details.

To be specific, the PSP is not good at Mode7 effects.

Runs nes, master system, genesis, ps1, gb/c and gba great for me. Snes is kinda weird so I can't reccomend it unless you play something turn based. It also runs shit like SCUMM games and DOS but I haven't tried them myself. For how convenient and easy it is to hack its good for what it does, in a few years I imagine the vita will be better but for now the psp still has some things the vita doesn't.
Retroarch Emulates NES, PC-Engine and GB-GBC quite well, for some reason the audio on the first Megaman gets all fucked up after some playtime but it goes away after you enter the menu (wich is activated by pressing the mute button)
Picodrive emulates everything the Genesis almost perfectly, some games like Golden Axe 2/3 and Alien Soldier run at 50 FPS, a goddam shame if you ask me
I have yet to try Snes emulation, so far Wild Guns, Metal warriors and Magical Popn work perfectly, does anyone have experience running other titles?
I can say gpSPmod and Picodrive are both awesome on my 2001 model running 5.50 Gen-D2.
Can't speak for others.

yeah they are

Also, I must express how many of my balls I'd have given for a PSP with Picodrive and all the games I have on tap in 1994/95.
Just imaging that shit for a second. Walking into school with a PSP loaded with a proper Genesis emulator and all those badass arcade titles. Hell, GOOD portable MK2 alone.
Holy shit.

One, or two?
>>3704213
retroarch, then gbSP for gba, emumaster for genesis stuff/gameboy, one snes9x clone for snes emulation (havent tried much on that front)
perfect arcade and neogeo emulation with mvspsp will give you all the mad pussy wherever you live in
Is the PSP1000 still okay for emulation?
>>3704640
Yeah, it's okay, but nothing more. It struggles the most with SNES emulation, its D-pad has a hard time registering diagonals and its screen has horrible ghosting/poor color reproduction.

I'm gonna use it to tackle some of my JRPG backlog
OP here. Already prepared my library.
I actually have trouble deciding between my PSP and 3DS for retro gaming.
Sure PSP can play PSO and Genesis but the 3DS can also play the other things quite nicely and the touchscreen is a plus.
On 3ds I have NES, GB, GBC, GBA, SNES, TG16 and DS
While on PSP I have NES, GB, GBC, GBA, SNES, Genesis, TG16 and PSO.
Both libraries are quite similar so in the end it's just a matter of what I want to hold for the next 3 hours.
But my real trouble tho is missing essential games. I've read and re-read Racketboy and Retro Sanctuary but still.
Here you go OP (make sure to get the latest versions of each):
NesterJ (NES)
Masterboy (Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Game Gear, Master System)
Picodrive (Genesis, Sega CD)
Snes9xTYL (SNES)
PCE (PC-Engine/TG16)
Neo Geo (MVS4PSP)
Neo Geo Pocket (RACE)
Capcom Arcade (CPS1PSP and CPS2PSP)
GBA (gpSP Kai, and Temp4GBA for few games that don't work on gpSP)
SCUMM VM (old PC adventure games)
Also PS1 games obviously can be played on the PSP.

As for the games:

This is good enough as a point of reference of games you can look into. You can obviously go out and search for hidden gems and stuff on the internet. Also most games that have fan translations are usually good (because they usually had to to be worth translating).
