      @mitu
      Figured out how to fake a splashscreen in portable emulation on pc. I opened the batch file in ES that sets it as home and open it.
      Changed it to:

      set HOME=%~dp0
      start "" "emulationstation.exe" --windowed --resolution 1920 1080
      start "" "C:\Program Files\MPC-HC\mpc-hc64.exe" "G:\Portable_Game_Station_1.5\load.mp4"

      changed the resolution to fullscreen size but kept it windowed so my player can show over it. used MPH-HC set the options to fullscreen when it launchs a file. set it to be "always on top". also selected the player to exit after playing.

      I had that happen once after an update. I had to tell it to uninstall retropie and then reinstall it. it all worked fine after that.

      Okidokie I'll see what I can do.

      I got my ES environment installed how I like it manually now, should be able to reverse engineer at least some of the RetroPie script to work under Batch/Powershell. Might try to work with it under cygwin or maybe git bash

      @bombay The Raspberry pi is not a pc (x86/64 architecture) therefore it cannot run "windows games" natively. Like for every device, programs have to be compiled specificallyf for a type of machine (pc/mac/Android/etc). So there are two solutions out there to run "windows programs" on Raspberry pi.
      1/ You get the source code adapt it and recompile it for the Pi (very unlikely)
      2/ You try to run your games throught some "pc & windows emulator" like exagear ( https://eltechs.com/product/exagear-desktop/ )

      @backstander I haven't tested the specifics, but I think it could be spaces, but it could also be brackets like "(" and ")" that cause it to break.

      @fallenturtle The build instructions on Windows should be ok, though it may take some time to build with vcpkg. You can download a ready made build from here.

      @VictimRLSH I tried the exagear demo on a "sandbox build" image of my regular gaming build. It did work fairly well, but it seemed like the install was too deep rooted into the system (just try fully uninstalling vs you'll see what I mean). I ultimately decided to not purchase it mainly because of their business model. Doing some research, It's closed source, which is okay if they were really vested into maintaining exagear, but the number one thing is the liscence is tied to the specific Raspberry pi you register it on - so when your board dies or you upgrade from 3b to 3b+ you must purchase a new liscence.

      If the license was, let's say, $5 it may justify that bussiness model. It's a shame, they have something that would otherwise be huge.

      I've been using a custom compiled wine through raspian to play Diablo 1, Diablo 2 with Lod expansion, & Starcraft Brood Wars. (Bonus - net play co-op) Unfortunatly, it required someone to compile the game..exe for arm but maybe with enough support they can get wine fully implemented to work just like exagear.

      You might also try PeaZip. It's built around 7-zip with better GUI and more compression formats supported.
