The OS you probably want is Batocera. I have a couple external SSDs that I use to run it on my VCSs, and they're great. It's definitely an easier setup than Windows with Launchbox, and you don't have to deal with licensing, forced updates, and all the other Windows garbage.

So I had an Arcade1UP Partycade modded with 12,000 games. I have no clue how to use this. I can only play a few games. I hope someone knows how to use this?!?

This subreddit is for the completely free and open-source distribution that you would find at https://batocera.org/ which comes with absolutely no copyrighted ROMs(games). You will only get support here for that and that alone. Unfortunately if you bought a preconfigured system ("unofficial image"), your issues are with the people who sold it to you. Nobody here can help you with anything outside the scope of the official release of Batocera. Which does have thorough documentation; https://wiki.batocera.org/

Alternatively, since you just built a nice PC, you can take the free options and just software emulate classic systems and run MAME. If you don't have time to set much up, look into a Batocera boot drive https://batocera.org/

Using emuELEC. Doom works. I just can't figure out how to get mods to work.

Considering Chocolate and LZDoom, both can work but what you would want is LZDoom for .pk3 files. There should be a guide here.
PowKiddy Y6 and EmuELEC upgrading
1 project | /r/PowKiddy | 2 Jun 2023

Ships with EmuELEC 4.3. Should I be upgrading to the latest version (currently 4.6) or leave it at 4.3?There seems to be a lot of bug fixes and stability improvements in the 4.6 update but I'm not sure if they would be a benefit to the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" 4.3.

As far as I know most of those boxes are just using Amlogic processors. You could try installing an emu distro such as EmuELEC on a new MicroSD card and seeing if it boots.
