By the way, this isn't a real nintendo controller.

You can find that exact same controller cheaper or you can make your own. It is a pretty easy process to make one and you can buy the parts for about 10 bucks. Also, on underground-gamer and bitgamer somebody makes custom ones for pretty good prices. You can get a box that does just 2 nes controllers or 4 controller ports for nes, snes, n64, psx, dreamcast, etc...
edit: although for actually doing this I'd imagine you'd want to just jack the buttons from an nes controller and add them to a mouse.

same as thinkgeek, except 20 bucks cheaper.
FYI that is not a quadcore.
Just a quick warning, some of that emulation can require a beefy CPU.
Ok first off does the computer currently have a VGA port on it? If so try a VGA to RCA/S-video cable. This is the cheapest test run option.
Now then as for hooking up controllers:
Hyperkin NES USB controller
There are a lot of these types. Hyperkin is a more reputable company so I went with them. Just make sure you read the reviews. Because you can get SNES & N64 as well as other types of retro style USB game pads.
Yeah... I cried when I saw the price.
How does $10 sound? Amazon.com is magical like that.
I don't have a rugrat of my own, but I can see where you're coming from with the power button. :)
I don't know how much you deal with digital cameras or memory cards, but I ended up putting a card reader in the 3.5in slot and that's come in handy a lot. You could just get a pod and have it next to the PC, but it's something to think about.
You'll end up using the crap out of that Harmony One, and just saved yourself more headache than you know. The one big thing with WMC (and something that I haven't devoted a ton of time to) is mapping the Back arrow on the upper left to a button on the remote. If you don't get that, you'll be using a mouse a LOT. Speaking of which, it's not a bad idea (depending on budget) to pick up a wireless keyboard and mouse for the impromptu internet browsing or just general stuff. I have the Adesso keyboard (http://www.adesso.com/en/home/keyboards/91-wkb-3000ub.html) which works fairly well and I get a good range from it (about 15+ meters line-of-sight) It probably doesn't help that I have a 5dbi 2.4GHz antenna spewing 3 meters from the receiver, but it does the job.
I picked up 2 PS3 pads and haven't had issues with them yet. I know there are some USB NES pads (http://www.amazon.com/Retro-Classic-Controller-Nintendo-Entertainment-System/dp/B00281PFQI) so you don't have to screw with adapters.

Looks good, but I'd suggest buying a hyper 212 and overclocking that pentium, as can be fairly CPU intensive depending on the accuracy of the emulation.
Also, why not get some USB NES/SNES controllers?
Bit of a stretch here but if she has enough dexterity in her right arm and hand she could use something like this and you she could then have access to a larger variety of games.
Building on that idea maybe this would be a more viable option.
You can get them for $11 on AMazon, or get the snes controller for $4. Depending on the phone you may need an adapter and/or some programs to make it sync up. Just Google the name of the phone and 'nes/snes controller'.
This is about the closest i have seen.

Edit: USB NES Controller
Yeah, I have be very careful when I start playing an RTS. Usually it goes, feed him, change him, swaddle him, and then rock him to sleep. Once he's passed out for 5-10 minutes, then I have a decent shot at being able to get a game or two in. Other than that, if I do play a real-time game I try to make sure it's a SP game that I can pause if I need to.
I am looking forward to introducing him to two player games as he gets older. I have two of these and will be introducing him to all the old classics.
Since the controller is like 10 bucks off of amazon, i would go with that.

Amazon sells them cheaper.. not sure what the difference is

Saw some on Google for $6.
It takes less than an hour to setup RetroPie. How is that a lot of work? RetroPie is also very polished.
We got bored at work one day and a bunch of us ordered some Pi's, some nice cases, and proper controllers and once they arrived it was about an hour to set up before we were all off playing games.
P.S: This was the controller: https://www.amazon.ca/Tomee-NES-Retro-Classic-Controller/dp/B00281PFQI

I have no idea how easy it would be to get it to work. Someone in the reviews said it works well with their Pi though.

Unless you only play sidescrollers (sucks to be you), I don't see why you would base your purchase of a controller on that. The analog stick placement on the dualshock are an order of magnitude worse than the D-Pad on the 360 controller.
You can buy USB NES pads for side scrollers and shit. Or just use the keyboard.
