I ended up installing retrodeck (I think, it's been a minute since I booted my deck - modded Minecraft has been my obsession lately) and it's pretty slick. Not sure what emulator specifically is running under the hood, but it lets me drop ROMS into platform folders and it functions like the old MAME packages where it's all in a simple to use dashboard to launch games.
