im making an app for RetroPie, send ideas!

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?

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).

can someone make a logo for the retropie chat?

PetroRie

@Redstoner Why not using the standard logo?

The font I used is: Segoe Keycaps. If you want I can make you a simple interface.
