Hi,
I am about to finalize my arcade machine and the whole system automation when booting it. By doing so I am encountering issues that some others may have already noticed but no information on the forum so I share if this thread can help.
Indeed, when moving or creating a new shortcut, the retrofe.exe application is running without any problem but the emulators are not launching correctly.
This may come from the fact that the "cmd.exe" does not start from the Retrofe repository.
Below the log showing the problem when I create and use the new shortcut :

When checking the properties of the original shortcut placed in the main repository, some extra commands are added to run the app.
%COMSPEC% /c start "" core\retrofe.exe
and there is a option which my windows do no tunderstand when I test it in Run : %CD%
is that related to the command Change Directory ?
If you have the same issue or a clue, I d be happy to know.
Thanks very much !

Just load the exe directly.

Start in D:\RetroFE in stead of D:\RetroFE\core.

He's using my EmuMovies setup, which uses a relative path to the emulator. As such, the starting directory's rather important. :)
