Spaces in emulator path.

Open psxlover opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

I have my gameboy games in "I:\Emulators\Game Boy". I tried using quotes around the emulator path but it's not working. When I removed the space from the folder name to make sure it wasn't the emulator's fault I still couldn't launch any games until I removed the quotes around the emulator path so I guess there is a bug when the path to the emulator starts with a double quote.

Only put quotes around the words with spaces, in-between the backslashes, instead of the entire path. Example: I:\Emulators"Game Boy"\VisualBoyAdvance-M.exe

Thanks I'll try that. As a workaround I was using: start /WAIT "" "I:\Emulators\Game Boy\VisualBoyAdvance-M.exe" %ROM%

I came across this while searching for a solution in connecting to a NAS over SMB with RetroPie. Silly as it might sound, the solution for me turned out to be ending the directory name with a slash. Hope this helps anyone else with the issue!
