My laptop bag also has a $30 OnnTV box from Walmart, with 2 small bluetooth game controllers. I have all of my streaming services set up here, along with RetroArch for some old-school gaming. I now have a very lightweight setup that is capable of many things, including streaming tv and movies, and playing everything form Atari to N64 and PS1. I only need a power outlet and I'm good to go. This full setup is just a bit over $100.
It took me a bit longer than I like to admit to figure out how to get it to stay upright on the stand. There is a magnet on the one flap. This magnet will stick to the back of the monitor, and the lower half of the screen just sits in one of the two notches on the other half. Before I figured this out, I was trying to fold it in all sorts of ways to get it to stand without sliding. Now that I've figured this out, it is extremely easy to set up and very sturdy.
The other comment is correct - if you want to use HDMI, you need a HDMI > Mini-HDMI adapter.

RetroArch is a very deep hole to dive into, and the advice and opinions on it are endless. I don't want to hijack this comment section with too much information on it. I am also not an expert on this by any stretch. However, if you follow the advice in this video, you will end up with a pretty good basic setup by the end of it. You can then leave it as-is and be satisfied, or go as deep into the rabbit hole as you want: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HptlIXL
I do recommend the little bit of additional cost for the external storage (mentioned in the 11 minute mark of the video) if you are going to load a ton of games onto it - especially the era of N64 or PS1, as those games are significantly larger in size. This era of systems (N64 and PS1) are at the edge of what this little box is capable of. So, some games might play fine. Others may take additional configuration. Some may not play at all. Mostly anything before this generation will run just fine though. Don't think you are going to be able to play anything beyond the PS1 era on this box.
As far as controllers go, you can use an existing controller that supports bluetooth, or you can pick something up cheap. 8BitDo makes a ton of good controllers in different form factors. I just put everything into a nice little case inside of my laptop bag.
Just make sure you back everything up in another location. ROMs, BIOS files, configurations, etc. That way, if you ever need to reconfigure from the ground up (if you have a lost, damaged, or new device), you will have a great starting point and won't have to spend hours on it.
