Standalone Scripts

Retrocore includes PowerShell and batch wrappers for users who want a simple Windows-native flow without going through the CLI.

Launch the manager UI

This opens the Retrocore Manager surface directly.

PowerShell:

.\manager.ps1

Batch:

manager.bat

This copies a shader into Windows Terminal's LocalState folder and enables it globally through profiles.defaults.

PowerShell:

.\apply_global.ps1

Batch:

apply_global.bat

Behavior:

prefers shaders\retrocore.generated.hlsl when it exists
falls back to shaders\crt-subtle.hlsl if no generated shader is available
backs up the live Windows Terminal settings into snapshots\
updates settings.json directly
tolerates common JSONC-style comments and trailing commas in Windows Terminal settings before writing back normalized JSON

This removes only Retrocore-managed shader paths from Windows Terminal settings.

PowerShell:

.\remove_global.ps1

Batch:

remove_global.bat

It will not remove unrelated custom shader paths.
