Well recently i was at my girlfriends house and her nintendo wasn't working, so i looked up how to do it and fixed it up just by cleaning the inside and resetting one of the cranks within the machine. So we plugged it in and all her games worked perfectly. Well now i've just that you can DL an emulator and roms for mac, so i had done that and they all work great, just about any sega nintendo game out there, than, i bought a mac gaming remote, DL'd game pad companion and set it up to the keys, than got a mini dvi for my mac and now we can play right on the tv...
Holy Crap Right!

You can also do this with PSP's
but then you only need USB cable instead of dvi ^^

I bought an xbox 360 wired controller on ebay for about 20$ and I've been doing what you describe for years. I love the controller because it's very ergonomic, and just like you, I linked it to emulators for all sorts of great games. It's very easy to download a pack of 1000 sega, super nintendo, NES, N64 games.
I get to play Conker's bad fur day just like back in the day... Real N64's on the other hand, are a little too expensive for my taste. Especially the best games, like Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Gauntlet, Kirby, Conker's bad fur day, I'm forgetting a lot... They can easily be 35$ or more, and in the end... they're just very old games
The present rocks!

Yeah i'm contemplating buying xb1/PS4 controller since those are recognized by everything with an USB port.
Saves the hassle to keep updating firmware/latency loss of using programs with 360/PS3 controls
If only I could afford goldeneye/kirby XD

Windows update immediately recognizes a wired xbox 360 controller and installs the appropriate drivers. The sensitivity of the joysticks is flawless, and everything works... Plug and play. No downloads or third-party programs needed.
Gonna be a lot cheaper than xb1/ps4 controllers I think

You can also, i believe, dl the iso version of these programs and rip them to a disc, they say the disc should be able to work and play directly from your ps3.. mind you some further instruction may be involved. I have a logitech remote i bought for 20-30$ from best buy. havn't had any problems, and gamepad companion was free. The only thing that bugs me is that the remote needs to be plugged into the computer, and the sound has to be played through my computer.. ps i have an older version of mac, about 10.5.8 which is the old style mini dvi, the new dvi's for macs through the recent years can play sound through your TV.
Anyone know where to find the emu and roms for ps1/atari for the mac?
