I used to use iOS, and there was a great emulator called "Delta". It was open source and free, and it was so easy to add games to it's library. Is there such an app for Android? I would very much like it if the app was open source and free.

Retroarch is what you are looking for.

I would recommend using individual emulator apps for those that exist on Android, such as PPSSPP or Citra.

Just to underscore this, Anbernic makes handheld gaming devices that run Retroarch and other emulators, and some like the rg353v come with Android and Linux dual booted.

Do you know if Retroarch has controller support?

Retro Game Corps has some great tutorials on setting up retroarch.

I also recommend Daijisho as a front end for browsing and launching if you have multiple emulators.
