[#75] Update docs #76

Keep the usage on the Readme, even if people should check on the website. Users tend to skim through content to only find what they need, even if you put a link to the usage file. Multiple files to read confuses users. I know is not neat, but the focus is for users to find the informations they need.

I am not a fan of mentioning a specific multiworld in the doc and people probably come from these projects to find about QUsb2Snes. Also this doc is mostly a summary since all the detailed information should be on usb2snes.com

Agreed, I will change this accordingly. I added it as a search engine keyword, so people can find it more easily. But it is not needed.

I did not want to change this. But it is a little contradicting with

Anyway, I will move the usage back.

Yes and no. For USERS, this is true. For Advanced Users / GitHub Users and Developers, they are comfortable with finding information in files with these names. But the target audience are probably mostly gamers, so I will move the usage back.


I think our ideas do not contradict themselves. I want to have a little more "standardized" document which is similar to other docs found on github. This does not mean we cannot keep the usage short as you suggested.
