 ## Why / Project Goals
 
-Before the homogeneity of USB peripherals today, computer input devices were a wild west of proprietary protocols and connectors, as different platforms used their own keyboards, mice, and gamepads.

 With the popularity of retro computing today, it poses several issues:
 
-* Many proprietary peripherals are simply **hard to find**, commanding a premium on online marketplaces. They are only getting rarer, and without them, the computer itself is useless.

 But of course, one can argue that using period-correct peripherals is simply part of the hobby, but just like HDMI upscalers or floppy emus, it's nice to have the option to enhance the experience.
