One piece of advice for any Linux gamer for whom retro-gaming is a "big deal" but not a
"really big deal".  Use 32-bit Linux.  By '"big deal" but not a "really big deal"' I
meant that you want the games to work with as little trouble as possible, and you're
willing to give up some performance for the reliability.
