Enabling Case Sensitiveness on Windows

Recently, I installed PC Em and in order for it to run you need a rom set (it does not come with them right out of the box).

These rom sets can be found on GitHub, but on the repository root there are two files with the same name (BIOS.BIN and bios.bin) and Windows, by default, treats file names in a case insensitive manner. Therefore, Windows considers both BIOS.BIN and bios.bin equivalent names.

However, searching the net, I found the following workaround:

fsutil.exe file setCaseSensitiveInfo "C:\my folder" enable

But when I ran it on my machine, I've got the following error message:

Error: The request is not supported.

After a quick search, I found an answer on StackOverflow, saying that you need to install the Linux Windows subsystem to make the case sensitiveness to work. You can do that with:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Windows-Subsystem-Linux

This command will take a short time to run and might require you to reset your machine to finish the installation.

Once installed, the case sensitiveness can be enabled on a directory by directory case.
