Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

How can I run a game from Desktop?
That means, I have a shortcut from the game on the desktop. How can I do this?

Create a shortcut to dolphin.exe

in the properties window, add the following to the end of the target, no quotes

"-b -e (path to game dump, quote if spaces in it)"

When I right click on dolphin > properties > shortcut I have 2 path's. 
"C:\Program Files\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe"
and
"C:\Program Files\Dolphin"
what do I have to do now I didn't understand what you mean.

add it to the field that has Dolphin.exe

But my games are in Documents > Games. When I remove dolphin.exe and add MarioKart.iso its just giving me an error. 

aim: "C:\Program Files\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe"

run in: "C:\Program Files\Dolphin"


(im german, don't now how it is called in english) in german it is:

Ziel: "C:\Program Files\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe"

and

Ausführen in: "C:\Program Files\Dolphin"

He's not suggesting you replace 'dolphin.exe' with the iso, but add the options after that.

So it will look something like (Assuming that your 'aim' translation is actually listed as 'target' here):


target: "C:\Program Files\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe" -b -e "C:\path\to\mariokart.iso"
