If you want to install a lot of PS1, Dreamcast, PSP or CD/DVD-based games then I would recommend 256GB– 512GB microSD cards or perhaps even an SSD. microSD cards are pretty cheap these days, my recommendation for most would be a 64GB– 128GB microSD card. What size microSD card should I get?

Should I get a 2GB, 4GB or 8GB Raspberry Pi 4? Answer: For the emulators, CPU performance is more important than RAM.
