      I just had a great idea, what if there was a script that could be run over ssh that would output all of the support details @herb_fargus asks for in the sticky!

      Pi Model or other hardware: (B, B+, 2 B, 3, X86 PC etc..)
      Power Supply used: (If using a Pi)
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest):
      Built From: (Pre-made SD Image on RetroPie website, Berryboot, or on top of existing OS etc.. - please provide the filename of any image used)
      USB Devices connected:
      Controller used:
      Error messages received:
      Log found in /dev/shm/runcommand.log (if relevant):
      Guide used: (Mention if you followed a guide)
      File: (File with issue - with FULL path)
      Emulator: (Name of emulator - if applicable)
      Attachment of config files: (PLEASE USE PASTEBIN.COM FOR LARGE LOGS)
      How to replicate the problem:

      Obviously not all of these could be grabbed with a script but a lot of them could! Are there any kind coders out there who might want to undertake this project and help out the unwashed masses? Wouldn't it be so much easier to just direct them to run something like "sudo ./support.sh" ?

      Just spitballing an idea here. If you have any thoughts or could do something similar let us know!
