Nice tutorial! Lat15-TerminusBold28x14.psf.gz does look even better! Now I can see while sitting on the couch!

Just to make it more readable for newbies, you might put the code in markdown code blocks. Here's the documentation about it:

@backstander @meleu I added something after you guys saw the instructions that you're going to want to keep in mind if you try this out.

IMPORTANT ADDENDUM:

Some programs may not play nice with the larger size. I found that jstest (for testing your joysticks) does not work right with a TerminusBold font size greater than 20x10. Every time you press a button it writes a new line on the screen with the output instead of just switching on and off like designed.

You have two options here.

Keep the text size permanently the way you like it and just remember to enter the setfont command to a size small enough for jstest (or other problem programs).
Bring the font size down to 20x10 or whatever necessary with a different font and you don't have to remember the setfont line.

Personally, I would go for number 1. Using jstest is the only time I've noticed this to be a problem and I don't imagine I'll be using it often. I'd much rather have the text on the screen very large 100% of the time until the few times I would need to change it.

@backstander Good call. It looks a lot better now.

Glad I could help you out. Pretty damn sweet, huh?

Yes it is and it looks like @meleu is in the process of adding this to the official RetroPie wiki/docs.

@backstander Nice. :)

Now all I have to do is get my Pi back to where it was before I broke Sudoers and see if I can actually get the retroarch.cfg files to save and work properly. Almost forgot that's what this thread was originally about.
