EmulationStation

A graphical and themeable emulator front-end that allows you to access all your favorite games in one place, even without a keyboard!

: The lasting impact of "found" instructional media in the digital age.

: A mold and deckle (a screen frame) are dipped into the pulp. As it is lifted, water drains away, leaving a thin layer of interlocking fibers on the screen.

: Detail the chemistry and mechanics of papermaking shown in the footage.

If you need to turn this into a formal document, consider this structure:

: Raw materials (like recycled paper, cotton rags, or plant fibers) are broken down and mixed with water to create a slurry called pulp .

: The wet sheet is transferred from the screen onto a felt or absorbent surface.



Works with any controller

EmulationStation provides an interface that is usable with any 4-button controller, set up from within the program itself.

* Emulators themselves must be configured separately...for now.
