Pure MSYS2 Unix-like build on Windows

Author:       enygmata
Contributors: radius

This build is not supported by the RetroArch developers.

This little tutorial will help you build RetroArch for Windows bundled with most of the features available for this platform. The advantage of this build over the official ones is that it doesn't require tweaking anything and RetroArch will use more up to date libraries.

It is called pure MSYS2 and Unix-like because it uses the same build commands as the Unix-inspired systems and and the development files provided by MSYS2 instead of the ones available in the official compilation guide.

	Outstanding issues:
	==============================================================

	[General]
	- [all] archive support doesn't work in the commandline
	- [all] some per-core settings don't override the global setting (unconfirmed) (#1541)
	- [all] working shader preset is always retroarch.cgp so it's impossible to have per-core shader presets (unconfirmed)
	- [all] laggy input on RGUI with real keyboards and with OSK

	New Features
	- Undo Load State
	Whenever a load state operation is triggered by the user we take a snapshot of the current state to memory so you can rever the
	operation later.

	- Undo Save State
	Restores the last save state after it has been overwriten, it doesn't actually trigger a load of such savestate.

	function downloadSave()
	{
	var data = FS.readFile('/home/web_user/retroarch/userdata/content/down.bin',{ encoding: 'binary' });
	var blob = new Blob([data], {type: "binary"});
	saveAs(blob, "down.bin");

	}

	it's rather simple, clone libretro-buildbot in a scripts folder.
	create a buildbot folder with one clone of libretro-super for each platform

	Setup the toolchains you need. Each recipe setups it's own environment. You can install the toolchains in any path you want and then alter the recipe configurations to match
	Ex:
	https://github.com/libretro/libretro-super/blob/master/recipes/android/cores-android-armv7-ndk.conf

	Blackberry and Emscripten have some things that must be run prior to using the toolchains so those executed on the platorm buildbot script:

	Kawakami: Alright, changing topics now, Mr. Iwata – you were originally a ‘Super Programmer’, weren’t you?

	Iwata: Umm. Well, actually…I don’t feel like I can say that, I’ve never said that actually. I don’t think I was really ‘super’ by today’s standards(laughs).

	Kawakami: Well, there was definitely a period when other people thought that about you, though, right? When you were at HAL Labs, for example.

	Iwata: I guess there was. There was definitely a period of time after I began working at HAL when I sort of fancied myself to be the most proficient software engineer in the video games industry. Because I believed things like that I could write better NES code than even Nintendo’s (EAD) engineers or that I could write the fastest, most compact code.

	Kawakami: But once you move from a engineering position to one of management or administration, you’re no longer writing code yourself, are you?
