That all sounds real cool man. I handle my YouTube uploads through OBS, especially if I'm going live or even if I'm not going live I can schedule them through that for release as well if I do offline recordings and stuff. So I don't really want any automation on there on my YouTube. I don't like the fact that I've got it enabled on my Gmail and stuff either, but I did it accidentally and now I don't know how to disable it. So Gemini pretty much looks at everything. And I don't know how I feel about that. I'm a little off in the air. Not that I send it any personal or private email, but if I did I know it's like on some third party Gemini server. Although Gemini and Gmail, it's all Google right? So if Google's got your info they've got your info anyway. That's the way I was looking at it. So it really didn't bother me too much. But yeah, that emulation station thing or ES as it's called is very, very cool man. You basically take a Raspberry Pi and you write an image for emulation station through like Blina Etcher or Rufus or something and you pop it in. And then the first time you boot it up it asks you to inflate the file system and it creates folders for your ROMs for every console imaginable. And we're talking Atari 2600 to stand alone PON consoles right on up to PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, GameCube, you know the Nintendo Wii, Wii U, every console that you can think of. So then you just take any ROMs you have for each of those systems and pop them in the appropriate folders. And some systems need BIOS files like the PlayStation, PlayStation 1, and the Game Boy Advance and stuff. So you get those BIOS files, dump them into the BIOS folder. Then the next time you boot up your Raspberry Pi you're presented with this very nice looking menu that just, it just boots right into it. There's no messing around. There's no typing anything. It's just there. And the end user sees a list of your game consoles with really nice pictures of them and nice structured menus and themes. And then you pick your console and then it gives you the list of games that only apply to that console. And then you pick your game and boom you're off to the races. It automatically configures all your controller buttons and all of this kind of stuff. So that's why I was saying it's much easier to make a table that allows for game controllers to be plugged in. I'd get a USB hub like a four port USB 3 hub connected to a Raspberry Pi and then mount that hub so its ports are accessible on the edge of the table. And then like you say you can play anything. Legit you can play anything. Like all the Nintendo Switch games that ever came out for it, you can play those. And those are still pretty new. I know the Switch 2 is out now. There's no emulator for it yet. There will be. You give it a couple of years and there will be.
