|  Difference C16/C116 and Plus/4
The main difference is that the C16/C116 has 16KB of memory, Plus/4 has 64 KB. There are also different ROMs, as the Plus/4 has a built-in editor-spreadsheet-database software package, but this is irrelevant to games.
So Plus/4-only games need more than 16 KB of memory (ACE +4), I don't know any C16 games not working on a Plus/4.
The emulators always emulate a Plus/4 or C16 with 64 KB memory expansion (in WinEMU you can emulate a C16 with 16 KB but there is no reason to do so), so you can run any game with any emulator (if the particular emulator supports it - not every emulator emulates all hardware quirks correctly).
For more information and pictures of the machines look at Lando's main page http://plus4.emucamp.com

also Mike Dailly's page http://www.scotch.demon.co.uk has good technical infos.
