Retroarch supports a number of arcade cores on Android. I bet there are dedicated emulators out there, but for stuff that old RA will do nicely.

Lemuroid is RA right?

Also where do I get the roms?

Sorta, they are different emulators interfaces with different features, but they both use libretro cores, which are the underlying modular emulation system. So yeah, effectively the same emulator running, just in a different wrapper program.

For the other thing, I'm sure you can figure it out by either reading this page carefully or with a search engine and a little patience.

while its geared torwards fighting games,
it can emulate a lot of arcade games.
