I'm not sure if anyone will find this useful, but I am hoping so: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12809/guide-fastest-way-to-remove-all-unplayable-mame-2003-games-and-adult-mahjong-if-desired

@markwkidd there already is a link to the Simple Arcade Multifilter in the "Useful tools" section. I've just added a link to your new guide, like this:

Simple Arcade Multifilter (Windows) - app for MAME and FB Alpha sets (get rid of unplayable, adult and Mahjong games), there's also a guide on how to use it here by @markwkidd .

Thanks!

If you would like to add some tutorials, I can think of three that I have seen in General Discussion. User David87 wrote the MT-32 emulation tutorial and I wrote the CD-I and Milton-Bradley Microvision emulation tutorials.

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12549/tutorial-installing-munt-mt-32-emulation-on-rpi-3/7
Topic: Adding Roland MT-32 emulation to RetroPie primarily for use in dosbox and ScummVM games

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12553/tutorial-installing-mvem-milton-bradley-microvision-emulation-on-rpi-3/17
Topic: Installing MVEM, an emulator for the old Milton-Bradley Microvision handheld. This is the best emulator I know of, though few have been made for a system this obscure.

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12671/tutorial-cd-i-emulation-in-retropie-via-lr-mess-warning-slowdown-especially-during-fmv-but-surprisingly-playable
Topic: This is the most competent Philips CD-I emulation I am aware of for Raspberry Pi. Admittedly, this will only be useful for Stretch users, as you need Stretch to compile lr-mess.

I'm really amazed by the MSU-1 capabalities! I'm anxious to get home and try it out! :D
Thanks for sharing this @edale !!

I just noted that there is something quite important missing:

Windows Build - Automated Build of the latest version for Windows. Setup by @jdrassa

meleu

Changelog:

Removed the link to that trick to create a custom ES system able to launch games for many systems. It became outdated since "custom collections" feature was added to ES. Using custom collections is a way simpler. Info on how to do it was added to the ES wiki page and soon will reach the official docs.

@retroprogrammer There is a tutorial for Kodi in the Docs. https://retropie.org.uk/docs/KODI/

@EctoOne
Yes but here we have a detailed view of installing Webmanagers. I deeply hope that RetroPie gets a nice Browser interface once a time ;) Or a SQLite database for game scraps will be installed (In a few weeks it's XMas time)

And if you like MariaDB(h-Carey) or annother MFZH then

@retroprogrammer
Thanks for sharing

@cyperghost i never said anything about the webmanagers. I was only confused why he made a tutorial for Kodi since i'm pretty sure that it is covered in the docs for quite a while.
