      I find it funny how people demand free support for free software like we owe them more than what we already give for free. And yet when they are redirected to the answers to the questions they'd be asking on the forum anyways they get even more offended. I think we should have made the redirect permanent!

      If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

      Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

        @herb_fargus i like how people create free modifications then think they can't support it because they got "documentation" i am a creator and a developer in a different realm i support what i do, even if its n00b questions or not.. there is no point of creating something free if your just a lazy ass hole that will not do shit all day with what you developed but sit there with your hand on your dick eating Twinkies all day , its horse shit, hell i been developing codes for over 20 years in different realms.. i support my shit, may not be right away i answer questions, but i do when i have time, i m known in the IbProArcade realm.

        i was actually considering donating 50$ to RetroPie, but i will pass since i seen how poorly there support is.

          Is this a bad time to ask when we're gonna get some new magazines for the lobby?

                @Lyle_JP glad you appreciated it. Serious overreactions here.

                I forgot that we somehow owe you.

                Feel free to use reddit instead.

                  Wow.. That outburst was unnecessary. When the forum was gone I was worried, but when I realised it was a joke I laughed- this was the only April fools joke that actually got me :P

                  Thank you guys for redirecting us to the documentation we never read :D

                    Seriously though, appreciate the work everyone puts in this project, and the users sharing projects and ideas and helping each other out, for free, in their own time. These people are awesome.

                      @BuZz i for one would like to apologize for his comments. Most of us dont feel that way at all. I have several friends who code retro video games as a side job/fun while working full time jobs as programmers. People have no clue how much work people who code do, let alone try to have a family life in between. If they truly understood how much people like you give without anything in return, they might not be complete d-bags. But then again, i know some d-bags who just dont care and its just all about them. I personally would like to say thank you for everything you have done. This has been one of the greatest experiences for me and i would love for it to keep continuing being great. There is a good community that has been and is really helpful in troubleshooting peoples problems so why some people still expect it to be done solely by you just baffles me. Thank you and take care my friend.

                            @lilbud google translator couldnt translate that from french to english for me... :) so out of curiousity, how old are you now? Your profile Says 16? I thought you were a few years older. But i could be wrong. I am an old man after all. Wish more younger people could appreciate old games, music and movies like you do.

                                Heh, wasn't around for the joke. With some of the negativity from this, just wanted to say, thanks for all of your hard work with Retropie! It's much appreciated! I'm excited to try out image 4.2 now because of the new features (specifically the video presentation of games)!

                                  @edmaul69 My profile is right, I am 16. Just busy playing through 30 years of games, listening to 30 years of music, (Love old classic rock especially.) and 30 years of movies is a work in progress.

                                  So many games to play, the list grows every day. See partial list here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9306/games-you-haven-t-completed-to-this-very-day-no-cheats-allowed/3 Most of my backlog is RPGs, wish me luck there.

                                  Playing though so many games, I now realize why some games are called, "Nintendo Hard"

                                  Music is the easiest one, with parents who have a huge collection of cassettes, vinyl, and CDs. (I've even started my own vinyl collection.) Finding old music to listen to is easy. My profile header image says a lot about my music tastes.

                                        @BuZz I think I was just angry that I had an issue and wanted to see if it was talked about on the forums. I work 60 hour weeks and today was like the only day I could have looked and fixed my issue. I think the joke was funny but maybe just a little too far. I do appreciate everything RetroPie does. It is amazing software and a great place for users to help each other. I guess I was just mad that it was on the day I had off in a while and I couldn't access the page. BTW I did find a user with the same issue by searching was able to fix it. Sorry, I guess it was more frustration than anything.

                                          Yeah, I thought that the guy that was claiming to now own the RetroPie name had taken control of the site, then I thought it could be an April fools joke but the forum was down all day. I thought April fools ends midday ?
