              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!

                    I wrote up a quick guide for getting MSU-1 modded SNES games to play on RetroPie.

                      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.

                            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 It became outdated since "custom collections" feature was added to ES.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.

                                    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

                                      @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.
