Feature suggestion - MRA Readme

Unread post by ReadyPlayerTwo »

How about an option in the menu to display a 'readme' in the menu core for a given mra.

Like 'A' buttono to launch or 'B' button to read the file.

Would be a handy place for game information or a short description of the game, could include info like 1-2 players, 3 button etc depending upon game.

Came up with idea as i found a couple arcade cores can access a service menu if you hold down the service button, unlikely i would have known this without finding info by accident.

What do we think, would a little info be welcome for mra files???

I think we should use the framebuffer to show an image or something. I would love to have instructions on how to use disks in the computer cores as well.

I was thinking a similar thing recently, as a tab in the settings or something. Would be interesting to read some history of a system. This would also be a good place to thank patreon supporters, so Jotego cores could conform to the guidelines.
