In total this was somewhere around games. There was something physically satisfying about preserving my aging optical media library this way. It was also reminiscent of doing all of this nearly 20 years ago with my music when I got my first iPod.

The EM02 module includes a SNES-alike controller, but I actually preferred using my wireless 8bitdo M30 controller , which similarly worked immediately.

Some other tests, including a wired Xbox controller and a wired Retrobit Sega Genesis 6 button controller, both worked without any fuss.
