Obviously, yes. Wikipedia should be able to fill you in.

Best is not always equal to most popular. You need to define what "best" means to you anyway. Is it speed, portability, available options, enhancements, accuracy? It's pretty much a toss-up between SNES9x and higan in terms of overall popularity (in the Linux community at least). For embedded devices, however, SNES9x is preferred due to higan's high requirements. SNES9x is generally faster, but higan is more accurate. SNES9x also runs well on very old hardware (1GHz Celeron circa 2001). Note, SNES9x is very accurate at this point (though not completely accurate); if you're anyone but byuu himself, or you can spot timing errors in microseconds with your naked eye, you probably won't care about accuracy, so you can float either way. higan does have some options that allow it to be less demanding on hardware, at least I've heard. I myself stick with SNES9x, never having come across any issues with it, been using it for almost 10 years now.
For N64, your options really boil down to PJ64 or Mupen64Plus. PJ64 runs fine on all OSes (natively on Windows, and through WINE on Linux and OS X), and it boasts the best compatibility as well as the largest community. It's being actively developed(?) again and has been open-sourced. Mupen64Plus runs natively on Windows, Linux, and OS X. After some thorough testing I did a while ago, I found it's compatibility to be quite good (higher than I expected in some cases). There are 3rd party GUIs for the latest versions, but it can take some effort to setup correctly. For the games I play, Mupen64Plus runs them perfectly, so I stick with it. Most people will want to use PJ64 however, since it's easier to use and configure.
