It startet all, when i saw a yt-video of a RetroPie-System and then i knew i want such thing.
I have no RasperryPi but an gaming-PC, so i stumbled over Hyperpie PC
https://www.hyperpie.org/. It promises preconfiguratet frontend, emulators should mean like "just move your ROM´s inside, and run".
And yes, it´s nearly that way.
But i spent a huge load of my time, to figure out why some things don´t work the way they should. Most problems on the begining belongs to ROM´s that were not listet in the frontend.
My own computer experiences are when i learned BASIC on my own in the 80´s on TI99/4A (and others), and also Assembler on an Atari 800XL. So when it comes to frontends, emulators, squirrel, python,... i startet barnaked.
The reason, why i tell you this?Now my little Retro-Gamesystem comes to an state, where nearly all things are the way i supposed.
As i´m very thankful to the people, who works on AM, the plugins and the support, i wonder how i could make a little contribute for the project.
Sadly there seems to be no way to donate money to support the project, because i have tons of money and it would mean nothing to me, to donate some Million Dollar. (Sorry, this was a joke)
Seriously, i consider to making some tutorials for beginners like me, that are understandable even for people who get excited when open an config.txt file with notepad the first time of their life.
Because everything is easy, when you know how. But it was not soo easy to find this and that out for me, that it could be.
I think the best way for such beginner-tutorials is to make yt-vids step by step.
I have to say, that the orginal tutorial from AM
https://github.com/mickelson/attract/blob/v2.6.1/Readme.md helps me alot, but for an real beginner there still remains so many questions, thats where i want to jump in.
I would post the first tutorial here by the end of this week.
