So, in something like KDE, I can make an icon in Kickoff that will launch Dolphin with a specific game file, and all I have to do is click on the icon to go.

you can do this with standard windows shortcuts

the problem is my basic purpose in this is for steam...there are several variables that go into my needs. I know you can do some of this with steam shortcuts, but the problem is, lets say for instance my hdd is dying and i need to change the games location, the second i do, i have to redo the entire shortcut method, for ALL the games i have in emulator form. This can get tiresome when you have almost 80 emulator games. I want a simplified way where i can literally just add the exe into steams library and be done with it. without having to launch the game from dolphins client either.

I guess really the simplest way would be to have an option to automatically load a specific iso image from the base folder of the emulator at startup.

If your hdd is dying, just replace it and copy the data to the new drive, and set it to the same letter as the old one. Problem solved.
