The easiest thing to start with would actually be one of the early arcade games line Space Invaders or Pac-man. These are well documetend and fairely easy to emulate. As for conoles I would recommend the NES, it's well documented and not to hard to get a basic emulator running for it.

 

With that said, the recommendation I always make to new emulator authors is to pick a system or arcade game that you actually enjoy playing. You are going to be spending a lot of time with this system, so if it's a system you don't particularly like you will get bored with it very quickly.
