Thanks a lot, i know its an old thread but great info. I absolutely love retro gaming. That's why I have a PAP K3 Plus, all my old systems, and emulators for the stuff I missed as a kid. That's also why I started a YouTube mostly devoted to retro gaming. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCN25Sl8nR2pcbikBa2ZRZvQ
