I got most things running smoothly now. The digital library for PS1 has doubles of all the games for a reason I can't figure out, and it sometimes flips the button mapping for X and O (I think I've fixed that). But I'm mostly up and running and recommend it.

I love the design, build, and it's a great bang for buck.
Powerful enough to run basically any 1st gen disc game or earlier (ps1, psp, dreamcast, n64, saturn).
It took watching a few hour tutorials to get it setup. Mostly from Retro Game Corps
