      I built a retropie for a friend and decided it needed a manual. When I couldn't find one I decided to create one. If I used any text or artwork that belongs to you, thank you for your efforts! I mimicked the original SNES manual because I liked its style. I am posting a pdf but I also have a publisher file if anybody is interested and wants it or knows how to post it here. It is in the proper layout for a double sided pamphlet print.

          @mercury24 I like the unique idea. My only dissent is slimy bottom feeder resellers will probably print this off as part of their product but they do that with our software and everything else so whatever, everyone knows what they are.

          Anyways top notch.

            @herb_fargus Not that it will stop them or anything but I did add the little bit about not being licensed for sale and whatnot. I definitely appreciate all of the hard work that has been put into this project regardless!

                Cool, I always wanted one of these!

                Don't sweat it.

                  @mercury24 Great stuff! I hadn't even thought about a manual but now I've seen it I want to do one for my build. Could you share the publisher file? My build is inside an actual SNES so I'd need to update all the images accordingly.
