[Aurora] Read this before making feature requests for Aurora

[Swizzy 2083]

Before you ask for a feature to be added, please check this thread for if it's been requested already, if the answer is "No, we won't add it" it's for a reason, and you need to respect this decision.

Requests like "Add this feature from F3" will most likely be ignored/denied, so don't bother asking such things!

To make it easier to spot your thread, please add [Aurora] at the start of your thread title

Requests filled in the 0.2b release:

- Request: Scrolling synopsis

Details

- Request: Libretro/RetroArch support (Built in Emulator support)

Details

This one is dependant on the developers, we've got a solution that let's them allow us to boot roms directly, but it depends on the emulator if it supports it or not... right now there's no emulator that does support it that we know of, but in due time... it'll be supported hopefully...
