I think a large part of confusion with the RetroPie project lies in the difference of hardware (which type of Raspberry Pi/ controllers people are using) and the difference in software (which sd image people are using) Is there any chance that we could develop the wiki based off of the SD image releases- similar to something like this: http://www2.qgis.org/en/docs/index.html
That way we could start with the basics (i.e. how to format microsd card/ install the retropie image) and then configure version specific emulators/experimental packages etc.
So it would be laid out something like this
RetroPie 2.6 Version 2 (for Rasbperry Pi 2 Model B)
-How to install
-how to configure controllers with retroarch
-Emulators (in order that you see them in the roms folder)
-<Rom folder name> <emulator that folder uses> (i.e. snes: [pocketsnes]
-emulator specific configurations (rom filetypes, emulator specific
controller configs, etc)
-Advanced Configurations (boot menus, experimental packages, video settings,
etc.)
RetroPie 2.6 Version 1 (for Raspberry Pi A, A+, B, B+)
-How to install
-how to configure controllers with retroarch
-Emulators (in order that you see them in the roms folder)
-<Rom folder name> <emulator that folder uses> (i.e. snes: [pocketsnes]
-emulator specific configurations (rom filetypes, emulator specific
controller configs, etc)
-Advanced Configurations (boot menus, experimental packages, video settings,
etc.)
or would this idea lead to too many duplicates and lead to confusion?
I’d like to contribute to the wiki as to help newcomers get on their feet as quickly as possible but I just want to make sure it will be the best method for the community before I get too invested in anything.
