==Description==
RetroBuilder is a Windows tool to create custom bubbles for [[DaedalusX64-vitaGL|Daedalus X64]] and [[RetroArch Vita|RetroArch]].
After much searching for easy methods to create LiveArea Bubbles using Retroarch, I stumbled across a video from SayianPrinceVegeta on Youtube detailing this process. This became my inspiration for RetroBuilder, automate this process as much as possible.


No more writing ROM paths. No more manually re-sizing or converting images. No more changing core.txt file every time you want to change the system. Storage capabilities for Bubble modification or archival purposes.
Inspired by a video from SayianPrinceVegeta on YouTube detailing the process of how to create LiveArea Bubbles using RetroArch, the whole process is now automated, allowing anyone to create RetroArch and DaedalusX64 Bubbles easily.


No additional software is required other than what is provided.
