Setting up a fresh install isn't really that hard anyway, and everything you are doing will happen because of your efforts--no mysteries about why something does or does not work the way you would expect.
I think I speak for everyone who helps answer questions on this forum that we have all been "burned" trying our best to help someone with their configuration, literally spending hours answering question after question only to find out that the software was pre-installed, or the image came from somewhere else. It is frustrating for us trying to help, but probably even MORE frustrating for the person who needs it, as they often have to start all over anyway.
@LandyVlad I appreciate your enthusiasm. I often say that one RetroPie project is very rarely the same as another. One size almost never fits all. We all have our own ideas about what we want to do, how we want it to look and what hardware/controls we want to use. Fortunately, we all start from the same point of origin, so collectively, the answers are often available, and the opportunities to learn are endless.
Halt ! Kommen Site!! Auspass?!
I guess it is time I give BCW another go!
