Guix,

When starting our Retroarch package, it warns: ‘Missing assets, go
get some’.

Unfortunately, there's no way to do so through Guix apart from
manually searching for the required core(s) & assets and
downloading them to the right location.

It would be nice to be able to just run ‘guix install retroarch
retroarch-assets-foo retroarch-core-foo’ and start playing :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R

That's now possible. Try: 'guix shell retroarch
libretro-mupen64plus-nx libretro-slang-shaders -- retroarch' for
example.

We should package more cores.
