     Currently, a handful of games run, but some die due to odd hardware
     issues.
 
+To start a game:
+- Wait for the set-date screen to appear
+- Press down arrow
+- set date with arrows (optional)
+- Press Ctrl, wait a sec, press ctrl, press right arrow, game starts
+
+It doesn't save the date so you have to go through this procedure every time.
+
+If you do nothing for about 20 secs, it turns itself off (screen goes white).
