I just did this last week. Christmas present. A few little quirks but overall it's worked well.

Everything is so simple and mostly done for you already. The only real problems I've had are related to controllers. I have an Xbox 360 wireless receiver and two controllers for it, and also a PS3 controller. I prefer to use the PS3 controller with possible because the d-pad is better, but for multiplayer the Xbox controllers are fine. The problem I had earlier today was that the 360 receiver is considered as controllers 1-4 and the PS3 is number 5, so I have to either use a 360 controller for single player games or physically unplug the receiver. There doesn't seem to be a simple way to just change controller numbers.

Oh well, overall it's really fun playing all these old games. And I like having a homebrew system because I have more control over it. I almost went with an Amazon Fire TV, which can have emulators sideloaded onto it, but the Pi is so much cooler.
