I did this, but with Plex (I am a Plex user across multiple devices). I use the computer in clamshell mode with HDMI to my living room TV.
Also, I use Rowmote[0] to control the computer -- an old Macbook -- from my phone and run OpenEmu[1] next to Plex for a home arcade solution. I use a Bluetooth PS3 controller for the arcade. SNES works great with Sixaxis controllers, N64 is possible. Havent tried Dolphin[2] yet... But looking forward to it.
Late 2011 MBP for the curious, runs great for the above uses.

- ja27 10y agoPlex is my top use for a somewhat old laptop. I have an i3 Lenovo with a broken screen running as a headless Plex server (plus Calibre, a little light web hosting, etc.) It's the first media solution that the whole family actually uses.
- mikewhy 10y agoIf you use the SC drivers to turn the PS3 controller into an Xbox controller you can use that to control Plex Home Theatre as well. The Plex mobile apps also work as remotes. Using a PS3 controller will work in Dolphin, but you'll need multiple controller profiles (think Wiimote + nun chuck, Wiimote sideways, Classic Controller, etc). Retroarch takes a bit of the pain of setting up different controllers for emulators.
