[QUOTE="milhouse, post: 220185, member: 26653"] Sure, lots of people use a shared computer that sometimes is used for MP, and sometimes is their desktop or gaming PC. MP even runs in a window, so you can use it while doing other tasks. In configuration, there's a checkbox for "run fullscreen" that can be disabled for windowed mode. As far as using emulator software, make sure you check out the My Emulators plugin (search the forum). You don't really even need to leave MP to play emulated games. For other apps, you can use My Programs (another plugin). As far as hardware recommendations for remotes, start with the wiki. It has a section on "hardware selection help". The remotes section is [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/HTPC_input_devices"]here[/URL]. The general advice I'd give you is to use an MCE remote. That's nicely supported out of the box.
