It is good that your friend has expressed his own substantial self interest in exploring linux, as I've found it to be the only indicator of long term success in assisting friends with taking up linux. I highlight the word "substantial" for a reason, as those who only express mild passing interest due to some grief about mac or windows, almost always double back after trying linux and end up forming a dislike of it.

Distribution choice I would say doesn't matter very much as long as it's not something obscure. I've generally started people off on Linux Mint. And if that works for them, then great!
It might be your job to get the emulators work, I have no experience of running console games in a pc. Debian wiki is a good place to start, and you can ask here too, Often searching the forums helps also. Maybe those console game emulators have their own forums.
Emulator packages on Debian have been hassle free, in my experience. Just an apt install and then fire up the emulator's GUI, open a ROM file and go.
