We already have #1. However, it occurred to me that we already have #2 as well... right here. [[Template:Config]]. It lists all of the options in the emulator, shows where they are (general location via categories anyway) and describes them. The problem is that it is very user unfriendly. It's designed to display stuff in wiki pages, and it does that job very well but it's not very friendly for other purposes. So, here's my question to you guys - how hard would it be to make a page that automatically displayed every [[Template:Config]] entry? That way, any time Template:Config is updated, the big user-friendly list would be updated as well. With a little tweaking to make it more presentable, we take what we already have and maintain and suddenly it's a one-stop shop for Dolphin help, fulfilling everything the Dolphin Manual set out to achieve! But uh, I don't know how to do that. You know, artist and all. What do you guys think? - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 15:23, 13 July 2014 (CEST)

: It'll need some refactoring to automatically add new option to a list and the template's code is messy at the moment. A temporary solution is creating a page and include Config template with every possible entry and then update accordingly whenever we add new options. It's a quick way to archive #2 until we refactor the template's code. [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]])

Panic Handlers were added because in the past some games worked fine but threw a lot of Error Messages. If we don't have games needing it anymore I'm OK with its removal. Otherwise I think it should stay. About Aspect Ratio in Wii tab, we could implement it for games like WarioWare Smooth Moves that outputs stretched graphics at 16:9 because it doesn't have widescreen support. It may be cleaner than suggesting the users to use "Force 4:3" in graphics config. Despite these two notes, I agree with everything else. - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]])
