I wrote a script to setup retroarch/libretro with rcb on xbmcbuntu.
What it does :
- Checks if you have retroarch installed if not it installs.
- Checks if you have the rbc addons if not it gets them (you still need to install)
- Ask you wich rom collections to use and create a config file.
What it does not do :
- It does NOT add roms to your collection.
- It's not flexible in defining rom sources. You enter a main rom folder and the substructure will be created automaticly. (you can always change this afterwards in the rcb gui)
What is the advantage over "the regular way"?
- It automaticly installs retroarch.
- It gets this nice rbc addons in place ready for install (might make installation automaticly too lateron)
- It just asks you what "emulators you want to use" and configures rbc for you (current choises : nes, snes, sms, genesis, ps1, will add more lateron)
- It automates a lot, makes things even more easy and last but not least : extremely fast
For review :

Suggestions welcome!
Todo :
- Auto install the scripts if possible (if that would not prevent the addons from updating through xbmc)
- Add more emulators
- Add option to install and setup game controllers (I already wrote a seperate script script for that but not sure if i keep it seperated or include in this one.)
- Add some "sound" fixes incase there is no sound over hdmi in retroarch
- Add some flexibility to defining sources.
EDIT : Found and fixed the error.
