As somebody not versed at all in the front end part of an emulator, what’s a good resource for learning how to put together something that will actually render frames? No preference on technologies here.

Emulating the frame is also just part of the emulator. I.e. you got the display memory in some array (of pixel colors) in your code and the emulated instructions modify it. Then you just have to draw whatever is in that array on a "canvas" that your programming language supports.
