Question: I would love to have the following setup: a chromecast-style dongle running some emulator with a bunch of roms, plugged into the HDMI port of a tv; a couple of wifi controllers to play. Is it possible?

It's called Raspberry Pi. Check out PiMAME or RetroPie. The Raspberry Pi can emulate a lot of the stuff out there. Most of the things it can't emulate are too recent anyway.

Does it HAVE to be a dongle? The Ouya works great for this.

A softmodded Wii will easily do this, and you can get them secondhand for cheap these days.
