Reply To: Emulators/Cores update(s)?

[Jason Whiteman]

unfortunately I have no idea on how to issue a pull request :( For sure I could describe and detail the installation steps, this is what I’m doing hereafter!

When I was asked to generate a pull request, I had the same reaction. The best I could do was some research to figure out how to generate my own install script although there are still open questions.

In order to facilitate collaboration, it would be useful for the Wiki to have sections on:

1) You’ve been asked to generate a pull request – what does this mean, and how do I get started?

2) Format, conventions, etc. [i.e. documentation] of the required script(s) in adding a new emulator. Templates with comments and a skeleton of the various sections for each template would be best.

3) Any conventions of what to do after generating a new script. Announce on the msg board? Leave it up to github entirely? etc.

Then your “pull request” comments can include a link to the Wiki and guide the potential collaborator through the process.

Regards,
Jason
