File Associations/Registry Settings - waetherman - 06-20-2019
I'm using an old laptop as a "Steam Box" and using the Big Picture interface and Steam controller to launch everything. So far this is coming along pretty easily, with the biggest problem being resolved by an old post in these forums by @ldfpaint99 who noted that the registry needed to be changed to allow file associations to work. So I modified my registry to "C:\Program Files\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe" /e "%1" and that allows Dolphin games to be launched from Steam.
My only remaining problem is that when I shut down the game, I'd like to return it to Big Picture mode, but instead Dolphin is still running. Reading that same info from @ldfpaint99 it seems that adding a /b should shut down Dolphin when the emulation ends, but when I add that ("C:\Program Files\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe" /e /b "%1") I get an "unexpected parameter" error. Am I doing something wrong?
Also, what's the easiest way to shut down a game from the controller? I haven't researched that, but that will be the final feature I need to make this work so I figured I'd just ask.

/e belongs to the file name, so you'll have to swap them around: "C:\Program Files\Dolphin\Dolphin.exe" /b /e "%1"

Thanks I'll try that out!
