GpEngine, sms32, Frodo, Fmsx32, NesterGP. All very good emulators, oh and castaway.
Here are the best emulators I've played, in order of how far along they are:
Pretty Much Perfect:
GP Engine, a Turbografx16/PC Engine emulator. Full speed with sound at a very low frameskip. Just about all it doesn't have is save states.
SMS32, a Sega Master System/Game Gear emulator. Not much to say about it; it's basically everything an SMS emu needs to be.
FMSX32, an MSX emulator. Don't know much about the MSX, but this plays Vampire Killer and Metal Gear 2 just fine.
Needs Just A Tiny Bit Of Work:
NesterGP, an NES emulator. Full speed with sound at like 3 frameskip, and full SRAM support. Next version will be even faster and probably have fixed save states and Game Genie support.
GP SCUMM: Not exactly an emulator, but close enough. A SCUMM interpreter for those great old Lucasarts point and click adventures like Sam & Max and Day Of The Tentacle. Only thing wrong with it is that it hangs after certain cutscenes, and after the Whack-A-Rat game in Sam and Max, making that game unfinishable.
I hope it's still being worked on, because except for that bug, it's perfect...
Freeware Games:
GPDoom:
A direct port of the Doom engine to the GP32. You need to supply your own WADs though. Plays great. It's a bit dark, so hope you have the frontlit GP32. No cheats yet, but ehh.
Slyro The Radioactive Cat:
I don't know why, but I love this game. There are fruits, and you have to shoot them down diagonally or they'll knock out bits of the platform you're standing on. If you've played the mini-game Pyoro from the GBA game Wario Ware, it's basically that, although Slyro has a lot better graphics and sound.
Drunken Frogger:
Remember Frogger? This is that, but...different

If you've ever owned a ZX Spectrum then I recommend Speccyal 'K. This Spectrum emulator plays 48k and 128k games full speed and allows you to save state on all games you have on your card. Sound is also perfect for the majority of games. If you have never used a Spectrum before though, you may find it tricky to get the hang of.

vgbvgvbvgvvbvbbbvgv or whatever doesnt work on some gp32s tho, so dont get your hopes up. Its rather decent when it works tho.
Another excellent emulator that requires a bit of computer knowledge, and a bit of messing around, is castaway, the atari ST emulator.
