I wouldn't recommend to begin your adventure with game emulators. Those are quite complex software that emulate the hardware of a gaming console, so quite hard to understand. For graphics they usually use SDL or OpenGL (not available on Kindle) and sound is not supported either, so all the code must go.
I'm not a fan of kindle games either. The display is slow and the buttons are unresponsive. The games that make sense are the board games, puzzle games and text-based games.
Better try to write your own code using the kindlemodding tutorial. You'll learn much more! Don't skip the stages of learning. And Kindle is definitely not an easy device to program.
Probably a much simpler way to do cool stuff would be to write HTML apps using Mesquite or Illusion framework.
Sorry for breaking your enthusiasm, but better go slower than just getting frustrated.
