Title: Games arent launching
Post by: erido12 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

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]"
