This sounds like a perfectly reasonable, completely doable, and 
eminently logical plan.  (So, does anybody have another plan that 
involves trebuchets and flying attack porcupines?)

Also, though snes9express's interface is pretty easy to handle, it sort 
of requires a mouse or keyboard.  It *might* be possible to gin up some 
sort of frontend that only required joystick input, assuming that 
anyone wanted to do the grunt work.  I fiddled with doing just that 
(hacked-together multiple game emulator frontend using LiRC or joystick 
as an input source) earlier, but things like work kept interfering.  
Sigh.
