With a bit of work, you can set up a computer with a media center that you can run your games from. To do that, I've set up XBMC with Advanced Launcher on my own computer. Then I run it on the telly and control it from my couch with my XBOX controller.

Here's a selection screen for different systems :

When using this, I don't run emulators manually. That's all going on in the background. I just choose the game I want and press a button.

Of course it's also a nice way to play your movies or music. I love it!



You'd like my arcade emulator setup then
Hey thanks this is really helpful and I`ll look into it. These games were games I really loved when I was younger and all of them I never managed to finish as they were all too hard (gamefaqs wasn`t around then)
