Megadrive for me would be GENS.
For the SNES it would be BSNES. However this emulator is every accurate so takes a beast of a machine to run. If you don't have a modern system go for ZSNES or SNES9x. SNE9x is probably the better of the two.
Amiga is definitely WinUAE
I found XM6 much better than Winx68 for X68000 emulation.
Project Neko is the best PC-9801 emulator for me on the strength that it's the only one I got to work. It's a complete whore to set up and find bios roms for though.
X-millenium is the best Sharp X-1 emulator. Get the newest version, old versions don't support .tap files.

No, I've tried numerous emus on many platforms and always found the N64 emu lacking, and with the N64 the controller was so integral to it's biggest titles, Mario64, Pilotwings, Superman
, to play without it is missing something.
Same goes for the MD and Snes, the controllers, the natural placing of the fingers, muscle memory directing your button and direction presses, be it Mario World or Sonic 2, Chronotrigger or Gunstar Heroes, the act of controlling your in-game avatar is part of the game before the game even begins, if you get my meaning.0 -

The games may run better with graphical improvements but it looks very different from playing the game on native hardware. I think the big thing is that the programmers try to improve the texture filtering and it makes everything too crisp looking. The N64 has unique texture filtering that looks very distinctive and designers worked this into the look of their game. Improving the filtering really accentuates how basic the games are while on the N64 it disguises it somewhat. The best emulator so far is the one on the Wii which emulates the texture filtering really well while replacing the horrible blur antialiasing of the original hardware with proper anti aliasing.

You sure you have the right roms? As far as I remember you need the roms files as well as a .chd hard disk image to play the game. Can't really recommend a version to use. You could use one of the killer instinct specific emulators such as U64.
