      I understand RetroPie-Setup is not currently ported to Windows.

      I thought in the meantime, maybe I might be able to get by with writing a script that basically does some of the equivalent of what runcommand.sh does in looking at an emulators.cfg for a system for a ROM, such as here: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh#L179 but I do have a question though.

      When and how is /opt/retropie/configs/SYSTEM/emulators.cfg initially populated?

      Maybe a better question to ask is, for a given ROM, how can I query which emulators or libretro cores can be used for it?

      I want EmulationStation on Windows to run a script, which will then load up a ROM with an appropriate core in RetroArch, except that in some cases just like with runcommand.sh I may want to change the default emulator for a ROM.

        This is populated when an emulator is installed, by the addEmulator/addPort functions - https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/85d6a78ac81baf748a335af4c5450e4f232ebe8e/scriptmodules/helpers.sh#L1388.

          Excellent, thank you very much!
