Has anyone done this? How well does it work? Do you recommend it?

It depends on what you want to emulate and if emulation is your primary concern. There are a lot of handheld emulators out there that are cheaper and can offer a smoother experience thanks to their custom firmware.

If you are looking for something to primarily play a specific console like GBA/DS or want to play less demanding consoles like PSX and below I'd say there are better options.
