Will this work on a tv with a usb port or does it need to be on a computer (assuming you can get wireless controllers to play with).
The pi is the computer. And, like Stout said, it has an HDMI port on a pi.

Retro Pi
Part of the fun is getting it to work yourself, and if you do you can get all the necessary parts for much less than that.

Plus, pi2 is the same price as the b+ for twice as much ram and a better CPU.

I acutally just started doing this today.

Side note: for those about to start don't get the RetroPie 3.0 yet. It's super finicky right now.

I could have sworn that Gamestop or one of its absorbed companies (Babbages or Electronics Boutique) used to sell retro consoles and games up until 10 years ago. I remember when they stopped taking PS1 games for trade around that same time.
