Unexpected Parameter when launching with ES - TheDmac - 08-29-2014

Hi,

After setting up EmulatorStation for convenience (as I have a steady collection of emulators) I've noticed Dolphin won't launch. I get an 'Unexpected Parameter' which only happens with Dolphin (which leads me to believe it's Dolphin and not EmulatorStation) It works without ES, but when choosing a game through ES I receive the error. I love Dolphin, it works great on it's own, so I would love to get it working with ES with my other emulators.

If anyone else has encountered this issue and found a way to use Dolphin with ES, please do let us know

Cheers

ES is probably trying to send the name of the iso to Dolphin. ES has to use these command line parameters for it to work:

Dolphin.exe /b /e "path to rom"

Yep it was my fault, not dolphins. All working now.
