Tim Allen 0b44399c0a docs: Review and update docs for v107.
Changes include:

- The "Library" menu was replaced with the "Systems" menu
- The "Settings" menu was reorganised
- Game Boy rumble is now under the MBC5 "controller" for the cartridge "port",
  instead of being presented as a part of the base console
- Import instructions now mention that icarus ships with some firmware files,
  and describe the "Firmware" directory that icarus will use for firmware
  it needs.
- Apparently the correct name is "MSU1", not "MSU-1"
- v107 changes the way MSU1 data is stored in game folders
- PowerFest '94 import instructions removed, since I can't get it to work
  with v107
- Links to the official forum have been replaced with links to the unofficial
  forum archive, since the official forum is shutting down
- Links to Mercurial Magic updated to point at qwertymodo's archive, since
  hex_usr is no longer developing it
- Links to nSide updated, since hex_usr no longer uses GitHub.
- Windows build instructions now describe a compiler that is actually
  maintained, instead of stale TDM64-GCC.
- Linux build instructions now mention higan requires SDL 2.0.
- minor wording changes, typos, broken links fixed, etc.

Tim Allen b47488ab09 As of higan v104r07, higan no longer imports separate firmware files.
icarus now requires games and firmware to be combined into a single file,
so we must describe how to achieve that.

Tim Allen 593d32b885 Many typos and grammar fixes from dan1982 on the higan forums. 2017-08-31 15:19:43 +10:00
Tim Allen a81802422f No-Intro changed their naming conventions.
Sufami Turbo games are in a separate set now, they don't have the "(ST)"
marker in the filename.

Satellaview memory paks may have "(BS)", "(BS SoundLink)" or "(BSROM)"
for various reasons that aren't important to higan, so let's just not mention
them at all.

Tim Allen a1eaec493a Italicise more game names.
Also, it turns out the canonical spelling is "Mega Man", not "Megaman".
2017-08-31 14:56:46 +10:00
Tim Allen c557d68ec4 Spell-check the documentation.
Changes include a few typos, a few capitalization changes, and a lot of hyphenation of compound words that were not as widely used as I thought.

Tim Allen 6c7a9adaad Consistently use "folder" over "directory", except for Linux documentation.
For Windows documentation, "folder" is the correct term. For generic
documentation, probably either would do but I suspect people are
slightly more likely to be familiar with "folder".

Tim Allen 8976438118 Fix all the broken links.
Also, some of the text in the higan and icarus settings docs wanted to
link to a discussion of why we ignore manifests by default; now we have
such a thing.

Tim Allen 9be4e59a05 Starting to fix broken links in the documentation.
Also, moved the "you should install the GBA BIOS" advice from the
install pages (where I doubt anybody would see it) to the "importing and
playing" guide, which I figure people are more likely to stumble across.
The actually instructions are still in `install/general.md` for lack of
anywhere more appropriate.

Tim Allen a8363c41ba Fix broken link. 2017-08-12 20:58:01 +10:00
Tim Allen 5a44f249a4 Separate "how to import" from "what's the game library".
Changed "Configuration" to "Guides", because we want narrative
documentation for all kinds of things, not just documentation.
