Since Windows 10 now has a native-ish bash environment, can we get some support going?
-
You dont need bash to compile. There is a Windows compilation thread. Check that out.

There is also a portable windows build with retroarch available from the theme creation docs page (use the link " Download the file") and then there is an automatic build of the latest version available here.
Just extract the first file and then extract the second one into the same folder and overwrite all files.

@pyr0ball Search is broken but the instructions are pinned on Ideas & Dev section.

OK maybe I didn't explain properly, I know i can get all the disperate parts working like ES and RetroArch. What I want is the automation script that ties everything in nice and neat so I don't have to manually go edit all the configs and can update the packages using the RetroPie manager.

The retropie script is not ment to be used on Windows.
-
Well yes I know that. I'm trying to get some measure of functionality out of the linux bash environment that's running under windows
-
@pyr0ball RetroPie will never support that sorry. It's not just about bash availability. RetroPie relies on a Debian based environment.
-
@pyr0ball Feel free to port it to windows if you want.

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
