I attempted to MAME to work...but found the only way I could it to work was
through Retropie on the Pi. Even got it working on the PC with some of those
programs like Retropie. Have found it is a great idea..but the execution of
the idea leaves much to be desired.

Been running Windows 10 on my main PC for years...but for whatever
reason...Microdumb has made it where you can't turn off Windows Update. You
can delay it...but it always runs. Hate coming home to see my PC was rebooted
automatically & has been waiting on me to get home to run Windows.

On this netbook...am running Windows 7 Starter. Just wanted enough of the OS
there to be able to run the BBS...but wanted to not have the garbage of the
whole thing slowing down this 11 year old netbook. When I get Mystic running
on the Pi Zero...am looking to resetting this up with one of the Kodi OS's &
run it out in the living room on the projector.
