    It would be cool if the "F1" menu for the emulators had an option for pulling up a document or image as an overlay while in-game. This would be useful so that people could use things like walkthroughs, scanned manuals, strategy guides without having to exit the game. The documents for each game could be stored in a folder structure with a folder for each system, and subfolder names corresponding to the identifying number for each game (the one given in the ES menu). It might be cool to have an option to view the manual from the F1 menu, and another option to read a document associated with the game. Then the manual could have a particular format or be in a sub-subfolder called man or something.

      I agree and I have made a new topic on the sort, but we aren't the first ones to talk about this.

      N64 emulation is the next step :)
