Help me turn my laptop into a multiplayer/arcade gaming machine...

    I'd like to set my PC up to have a nice library of multiplayer games. As it stands, I'm already able to connect two Ps3 controllers to it, and can hook it up to an HDTV.

    Here's what I need:

    1. Which emulators (for whichever consoles) are the most stable, and perform best overall? If it matters, I'm using a 64 bit system.

    2. Any recommended hardware? I think my specs should be good enough for most purposes. I'm running on an i5 cpu, 4 gigs of ram, and the GeForce 310m. More importantly, which gamepads would you recommend? I was thinking of getting some usb Sega Saturn controllers for the more arcade style games, and (eventually) a couple of fightsticks for fighting games.

    3. This is probably the most important- which games would you recommend? :3

    Download Dolphin you can get some decent games for it like Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2 and Pokemon Gale of Darkness.
