General / Re: Portable mode or relative paths
« on: June 24, 2020, 07:14:14 AM »
Hi, just registered to notify the following:
I was trying to get my setup to work with relative paths, but for some strange reason I could not get it to work, until I moved AttractMode into a subfolder.
Snap etc would load fine, but could not get the game to start.
So NOT working:
Filestructure:
\AttractMode
\Emulators\RetroArch
And then trying to launch roms with ..\Emulators\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
Working:
Filestructure:
\Frontend\AttractMode
\Emulators\RetroArch
And then launch roms with ..\..\Emulators\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
I have absolutely no idea why. But maybe it could help others..
