Copy your live RetroFE system to any folder of your choosing. files can be found in Artifacts\windows\RetroFE Other build options =============================== After compiling your code you can also build different environments: 1. To copy just the layouts to Artifacts/windows/RetroFE, run python Scripts\Package.py --os=windows --build=layout --gstreamer_path=D:/gstreamer/1.0/x86 or python Scripts\Package.py --os=linux --build=layout 2. To copy just retrofe.exe to Artifacts/windows/RetroFE, run python Scripts\Package.py --os=windows --build=engine --gstreamer_path=D:/gstreamer/1.0/x86 or python Scripts\Package.py --os=linux --build=engine 3. To copy just the third party dlls and retrofe to Artifacts/windows/RetroFE, run python Scripts\Package.py --os=windows --build=core --gstreamer_path=D:/gstreamer/1.0/x86 or python Scripts\Package.py --os=linux --build=core 4. To copy a whole live installation Artifacts/windows/RetroFE, run python Scripts\Package.py --os=windows --build=full --gstreamer_path=D:/gstreamer/1.0/x86 or python Scripts\Package.py --os=linux --build=full
