Troubleshooting

If you get an error saying "msvcr100.dll was not found" run choco install vcredist2010 -y from Powershell as admin
If the controller is not working in game, configure Input in Retroarch (%UserProfile%\.emulationstation\systems\retroarch\retroarch.exe)
PSX, PS2 and PS3 Homebrew Games won't load unless you acquire the bios's and add them to the bios folder (%UserProfile%\.emulationstation\systems\epsxe\bios and %UserProfile%\.emulationstation\systems\pcsx2\bios)
PSX, PS2 and PS3 also require manual configuration for controllers (%UserProfile%\.emulationstation\systems\epsxe\ePSXe.exe and %UserProfile%\.emulationstation\systems\pcsx2\pcsx2.exe and %UserProfile%\scoop\apps\rpcs3\current)
If the script fails for whatever reason delete the contents of %UserProfile%\.emulationstation and try again.
Emulation Station may crash when you return to it from a external progam, ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.
Launching a Retroarch rom may return you to ES, you're probably on a 32-bit verison of Windows and need to acquire seperate cores.
Powershell commands may fail, ensure your Powershell session is in Admin mode.
If Powershell complains about syntax you're probably somehow running a Powershell version lower than 5. Run 'choco install powershell -y' to update.
If you are using Xbox controllers and having trouble setting the guide button as hotkey, locate the file (%UserProfile%\.emulationstation\es_input.cfg and change the line for hotkeyenable to <input id="5" name="hotkeyenable" type="button" value="10" />
The script is now re-runnable, so if anything fails, re-run it and it'll pick itself back up if your internet has died half-way through
If you are unable to run script from context menu (right mouse button), revert default "Open with" to Notepad

Optional Features and Tips

If you prefer to run your scripts via context menu (right mouse button) but lack the abilitiy to run them in an admin session, you can just double-click the "powershell_run-as-admin.reg" file and accept the registry modification. It will add a new entry to the menu to do that easily.
If you use OneDrive to store your ROMs and saves, you can run the script onedrive.ps1 or you can modifify it to any other specific folder. Further instructions in comments
Some new themes shows videos: es-theme-crt
Script for easy scraping included. Just run and it will backup your gamefile.xml for each ROM folder and produce a new one with data from scrap services (if you have modified your ROM folder, please check before run)

Old Steps

Run prepare.ps1 in an admin session of Powershell:

Powershell might restart your computer as some libraries require a restart, if so, simply re-run after your PC restarts)
You might need to change your Powershell execution policy, so run this instead of JUST prepare.ps1
Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; .\prepare.ps1
