RetroBuilder is a Windows tool to create custom bubbles for Daedalus X64 and RetroArch.
Description
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.
No additional software is required other than what is provided.
Everything is done by RetroBuilder.
Requirements
- Must have a Windows PC
- Must have VitaShell, Retroarch 1.8.9 and higher, DaedalusX64 0.6 installed on Vita
- Roms files, duh! (Don't ask me where).

How To Use RetroBuilder?
Simply place the ROM file, bg, icon0 and startup PNGs in the Input Folder, select Simple VPK and then Name/ID it.
It's that simple.
(STARTUP.PNG IS OPTIONAL)
