Description
I downloaded retroarch and in the retroarch folder I found retroarch.exe but not retroarch_debug.exe
According to hunterk in https://forums.libretro.com/t/how-do-you-debug-on-retroarch/4429 there should be retroarch_debug.exe in addition to retroarch.exe in the same folder that retroarch.exe is but in the retroarch folder I see retroarch.exe but not retroarch_debug.exe.
Is it true that retroarch_debug.exe has been removed on the recent releases of RetroArch or something or I used a RetroArch download without retroarch_debug.exe?
