You're way overthinking this. If you've used MAME for a long time, you already know how to use MESS. You just think you don't.

Let's back up: Do you at least understand how to run arcade games in MAME? Like, how to run Frogger, you need frogger.zip in your "roms" folder, and that frogger.zip needs to contain the exact files inside of it that MAME is looking for?

Maybe Mupen64plus in RetroArch would work well for you. I wouldn't know, as I haven't touched N64 "emulators" in years. I put "emulators" in quotes because most N64 "emulators" don't actually emulate half the console. It's a technical thing, so pay it no mind.
