Games arent launching
« on: October 17, 2018, 07:35:21 AM »
I know this is a a stupid question but I was testing Attract mode and for the life of me could not figure out why my gba games weren't launching.

Gba Emu file

 # Generated by Attract-Mode v2.4.1
#
executable           $HOME\Downloads\emus\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
args                 -L \cores\vba_next_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\Users\Eric\Downloads\attract-v2.4.1-win64\roms\GBA
romext               .gba
system               Nintendo Game Boy Advance
info_source          thegamesdb.net
artwork    flyer           $HOME/Gameboy Advance/boxart
artwork    marquee         
artwork    snap            $HOME/Gameboy Advance/videos;$HOME/Gameboy Advance/snap
artwork    wheel

Get rid of the "\" before "cores", it's incorrect.

This...
Code: [Select]
args                 -L \cores\vba_next_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"

Should be this...
Code: [Select]
args                 -L cores\vba_next_libretro.dll "[romfilename]"
