We've had a number of people run into INI errors because they used a clean one from the Main_MiSTer GitHub page.
The INI present in that repository often has options not yet available in the public release.
While these errors aren't fatal, I think it would be nicer if users had a clearer source for a clean INI.
My suggestion is to add a "MiSTer_example.ini". This INI would be matched to the distribution version of the main binary - and could contain some text at the top like "Copy this file and rename it to MiSTer.ini to use".
Adding this would give users an easy location to find a fresh INI, with the added benefit of being available offline.

I like this idea it's a good stop gap measure that doesn't require overwriting or parsing existing INI files but allows for end users to easily grab the latest version
I think is a good idea. I'm not sure about in which repository this should go. But if somebody would like to provide and maintain that "MiSTer_example.ini" he could open a PR to the 'develop' branch of this repository by now.
I can't commit to maintain it, but I can commit to support it, thus I'm tagging this issue with the help-wanted label.
