RetroBuilder is a Windows tool to create custom bubbles for Daedalus X64 and RetroArch.

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.
