EmulationStation

Now don't get me wrong, EmulationStation is great! But, it is hard for first timers to setup, the first time i installed this on my pc it was too complicated to setup. So this is for the people who want to give it a shot!

1. download and install ES
2. put youre roms in C:\roms sorted with the names below (make this folder if it is not there)
3. download Retroarch and put it in the sytems folder of .emulation (located in C:\Users<your username.emulationstation)
4. open es_systems.cfg in a text editor and paste code 1 in there, change <username with your windows username
5. get into EmulationStation and test it!
