What do you mean by what is the best system?

If you are attempting a GBZ project then you can use retro pie for many systems.

I didnt know it had that much processing power to even run psx and N64. Does anyone have a project guide for this? Maybe you can point me to please and thank you.

If you want to run PS1/N64 games you'll need a Raspberry Pi 3/Compute Module 3. I'd recommend the Circuit Sword kit as it takes the Computer Module 3 and fits inside a Game Boy case. https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sword/wiki , or if you don't like the Game Boy like me, the Freeplay Advanced CM3 kit does the same in a Game Boy Advanced case https://www.freeplaytech.com/product/fr ... 3-diy-kit/

Let me clarify one thing, the pi 3 can run an assortment of n64 games but not all and not entirely smooth. You should look into a pi 3 n64 compatibility list to see if the games you like are runable.

Also you never stated if your looking for a stationary, portable or semi portable, if stationary I would recommend sourcing a cheap x86 pc as it will run n64 a little smoother, if your looking for portable, a pi 3 or an odroid are your best bet.
