Here is my problem
I'm running RetroArch with bsnes accuracy core for most of my games, but some of the games, especially Mega Man X3 is slow so I want to launch it with balanced core which is easier on processing power and allows me to play without stutter.
Here is my default launcher code that I use (this is bsnes accuracy):
executable = C:\arcade\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
arguments = -L C:\arcade\RetroArch\cores\bsnes_accuracy_libretro.dll "C:\arcade\roms\snes\%ITEM_NAME%.zip"
Now I created a directory "launchers" in "C:\arcade\RetroFE\collections\Super Nintendo Entertainment System\launchers" and added a "Mega Man X3 (USA).conf" containing the following:
executable = C:\arcade\RetroArch\retroarch.exe
arguments = -L C:\arcade\RetroArch\cores\bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll "C:\arcade\roms\snes\%ITEM_NAME%.zip"
Basically all I did was telling retrofe to use bsnes_balanced_libretro.dll core in the launcher conf but the game won't launch.
Here is the relevant part of the log file

Why am I getting the ERROR failed to find launcher executable when the path is right and the same script works in a default launcher.conf ? Any help?
