Nice tutorial but you could include some diagrammed pictures for more information and would make you're tutorial easier to understand.

 

[Menstral]

Very nice tutorial, I have noticed this tutorial is a little to advanced for the n00bs maybe add a couple of screenies.

 

[Kieren]

Very nice tutorial, I have noticed this tutorial is a little to advanced for the n00bs maybe add a couple of screenies.

Really the majority of the audience who will need the tutorial will be new to the whole retro business so I agree with the pictures and nicely set out paragraphs maybe in steps just stating as there is a lot of tutorials on Dev Best already so if you edit and make it more understandable this could be used more.

 

[Kristopher]

its not copyed cause i did it when i was making my retro i was writing step by step the way on how to do it just incase i messed up

 

[skybax]
