[Solved] Roms won't launch from Steam shortcut - Runscream - 08-05-2019
Hi! I have created shortcuts for my roms in Steam to play from big picture mode. Every other emulator works fine, but my mGBA shortcuts will only open the emulator, without loading the rom. This is how my shortcut looks:
Target: "D:\Emulación\Game Boy Advance\mGBA\mGBA.exe" "D:\Emulación\Game Boy Advance\Games\Castlevania - Aria of Sorrow (USA).gba"
Manually loading the rom works fine, though.
Any idea of why this might be happening?

What version are you using? There is a bug in some versions where it doesn't like paths with accent marks or special characters.

It's version 0.7.2.0. And you're right, I moved the emulator and rom to a different location (without accent marks) and it loaded the rom. Thanks!
