Would SSH or remote terminal be possible?

That would be a great feature to have built into app... currently use vSSH Lite on my iphone now, but somewhat limited features.

@Redstoner

Ideas i am already working on:
The RetroPie forum
The web controller

by "web controller" do you mean controlling retropie through wifi on phone or something else? ...similar to 3rd party kodi controller apps and/or official xbox controller app?

Redstoner

@dawtyne10 i mean this by web controller:

buuut... there was an application on retropie that has a webserver where you could upload roms and stuff, i wanted to implement that to but i totaly forgot the name, halp?

Redstoner

hey guys i made a beta app, this app is only for android but i installed xcode so iphone users just have to wait.
here you go

[sorry i just noticed this version was corrupt]

@Redstoner
video looks cool for the webcontroller... can't wait to see what you come up with

Redstoner

ok so i reuploaded the app and did some huge last minute changes.
remember that this is the first version ever of this app and it is still in beta

Who can i ask for the use of the retropie logo?

Redstoner

I will be making a wordpress for all the updates for the RetroPie app, if anyone is against this reply in 42 hours.
I will of course be using the RetroPie logo for the website and for the app under the same license.

Redstoner

The site is Wordpress page is done, from now on the updates will be posted there.

Please do an app where all my roms are listed and where I can rate them (one rating in 1-5 hearts for how I like the game and one rating in 1-5 stars for emulation compability)

From that database I could be suggested games that other users like that I haven't rated yet. Based on the equality between my rating and the other users ratings.

"Based on what you like you would also like..."

And of course you could add friends and such...

@Arcuza
ok first thing, i would absolutely love this feature, it would make us play games that we like but we just didn't knew it.
but im not a fantastic programmer, so unless i get help from someone who is experienced in building an AI (if there is someone plz respond) i wont be able to make this.
and one more thing i am rebuilding the entire app in android studio (my hackintosh is broken again so i wont be able to work on an iphone app(i also didn't started building an iphone app, sorry!)).
so if you know anyone that can help me please send them to me!

@Redstoner I know SQL so I could write a stored procedure to recommend games. As long as you gather several users several ratings that's not an issue.

And... It doesn't need to be an app, just a responsive web design.

Redstoner

so now we have a guy who can make apps and someone who can make databases with SQL.
now we need someone who can design websites (because i can't, only simple things)
and also you don't have to make an entire database for the games, the guys over at TheGamesDB already did that http://thegamesdb.net/

@Redstoner Best would be to integrate both the compability and the enjoyment rating as a sync from ES to the Retropie.co.uk web site. IE you sign in to ES with the Retropie forum credentials. Retropie.co.uk would then federate with the forum to maintain the feature to let you browse games you should like. Of course you don't need the games db, because you only need to keep the synced games that users already have scraped.

This is not rocket science, every web shop is doing this to recommend products that should suit you and might make you purchase just one more thing...

Are you going to be helping with the web design?

Elohim

When I read "app", I got a totally different idea.
Why not have an app that makes you use the smartphone as a keyboard? In that way you could quickly search for roms/games and even use save-states and so on, on quick-access buttons on the phone (you can make your own buttons and shortcuts).

@Arcuza @wmcclelion
