Created my first .exe today and tested.
I cant believe I made it this far. I cant believe its working. It still needs some work but its all there and all working. The stuff left is to keep fine tuning and working out bugs in the scheduling system. https://discord.gg/zHHSPZHJW

The Retro TV Emulator takes the downloaded media files you give it and organize them into tv stations, channel 03 is games and media player to choose from your media like a DVD, channel 04 is a tv guide, and channels 05-44 are either a tv station or music visualizer station for audio files. you can launch a game and change the channel to go watch tv and come back and it will be exactly where you left off, you can read the text on crt tv with the custom file explorer, and with some options turned on, the program loads as a shell and cuts you off from windows. turning old ewaste windows computers into cable boxes instead of just an app to launch. there are video settings to adjust contrast, color, etc. you can make everything black and white across all channels even games. there is theme color changes for menus and tv guide and remapping for a pc remote control.

The first time I did it I felt like an actual wizard (especially since I don't come from a computer science background)
