Dolphin Game Autoload?

[VincentAlexander]

Hello All! I have a (I think) simple question. Is there a way to set dolphin to autoload a specific game when you open the .exe? Long story short, I'm using Windows 8 and OblyTile to create specific config tiles on my metro screen. I have one right now for Zelda and another for Xenoblade Chronicles that will load up a dolphin.exe with settings for the specific games ready to go. To make it as awesome as possible, I'd like it if there was a simple setting somewhere to have these games autostart once dolphin kicks in. I'm feeling like I'm out of luck, but figured I'd check here. Thank you for any help!

I am not familiar with windows 8 but you can always use the good old command line ( or edit the Dolphin shortcut and add the proper command line argument. It looks like this:
Dolphin.exe -e "path to your iso here.iso"

Sorry it took so long to reply! And thank you much for the response. I'm getting an error message from dolphin when I tried your command, but it gives me a list of commands I can use in the error. One looks similar to yours, but I can't quite decipher what it is telling me to do. It reads:

/e, --exec=<str> Loads the specified title (DOL, ELF, GCM, ISO, WAD)

I'm confused where in this line I would actually enter the location of the file? Any idea?

It's a commandline argument; you enter everything in one line, then hit enter.

Code:

dolphin-emu.exe /e "C:\My Games\Gamecube\Some Game I Have.iso"

After the /e, just type in the path to your game file. It's easier to just put the whole thing in quotes sometimes if your files and folders have spaces or special characters in them.

Thank you again. That did the trick. Just to give a show of what I'm up to, and what you've helped me do: here is a screenshot of my Windows 8 metro screen. I'm still in the middle of customizing it, but I have two dolphin games added now:
