NES, Game Boy, GBA, Master System, and Mega Drive all run pretty well. Most SNES is playable either with overclocks or by choosing different emulators. The Raspberry Pi 1 and Zero are significantly weaker than the above models. The Raspberry Pi 2 is similar to the Pi 3, though is weaker in the later systems like PSX and N64.

Most 2D arcade, such as CPS2 games like Street Fighter 2, works well in the RetroArch MAME cores or in the RetroArch FBA cores. Some N64 games run well but many do not, the emulation for N64 is generally not very good and the Pi is not powerful enough. Everything SNES and below runs well (with a few rare exceptions). The Raspberry Pi 3 can play most PlayStation titles well, some 3D PSX games can even use higher resolution 3D rendering.
