Unexpected Parameter Error

[Equus]

Hey all, so I've been having this problem with several builds of Dolphin lately, though it was never a problem on the older builds. (4.8ish and below). Whenever I try and open a .iso from the folder (using Dolphin as the default program) it "technically" opens, but I get the error [Unexpected Parameter '(Path to .iso)'] I can press okay, and then I get the message: http://prntscr.com/bko8ru

If I open through dolphin I don't have this problem, which is a fix, but if there's a way to fix this problem and open from the file, that'd be great! Any help is appreciated!

Because windows doesn't know that it needs to pass /b and /e to dolphin and then pass the file.

I recommend just throwing all the games into one folder and using Dolphin's native gamelist.

It's just odd to me that it worked in past versions but now it doesn't. Oh well, thanks for the reponse

hate to break it to you but its been /e (or -e) since dec 2008. Yes it says elf, but it works with iso (look through the code and see if you want )

https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/commit/9e0439a1939ba5b0fec4fbac8eaa9ea27f458e76#diff-18744bdb8a2cdfbd5fe67cbfb66cc717R128

you'll need to tweak the registry to get windows to pas the /e flag, It appears that when googlecode when down my explanation of howto got lost

but its something like the following (using the appropriate path to dolphin, & throw in -b if you want dolphin to close when you stop the game)

navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gcm\shell\open\command


modify the key from
"C:\dolphin\dolphin.exe" "%1"
to
"C:\dolphin\dolphin.exe" -e "%1"



sidenote:

What does the /b description even mean in the Usage message...
it says 'Exit Dolphin with emulator'. It should be something like 'Exit Dolphin when emulation ends'

Oh wow, easy fix! Thank you so much.

For anyone else having this problem, the directory I had to use to get there was HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\Dolphin.exe\shell\open\command
