So my guess is that whenever you tried out MALA before and it worked then you did not have any spaces involved, but now you do.

Īnd Project64 will not find a game called "Mario" only so nothing will start. In (2), MALA would start the project64.exe with the following input information:Ĭ:\Emulators\roms\project64\Mario Party.zipīut since it does not include the double-quotes then Project64 might interpret it as. why did it use to work without the double-quotes in MALA? I would guess it would still work without using the double-quotes as long as you do NOT have any (space) characters within the path MALA is trying to execute.įor example, when the double-quotes are NOT used:ġ) C:\Emulators\project64\project64.exe C:\Emulators\roms\project64\Paperboy.zipĪnd this might NOT start the game (notice the space between Mario and Party):Ģ) C:\Emulators\project64\project64.exe C:\Emulators\roms\project64\Mario Party.zip

Hope this allows you to understand how the MALA command line parameters are used. Based on the above settings, then MALA will try to execute (as it's " Command line") the following:Ĭ:\Emulators\project64\project64.exe "%path%\%rom%.%ext%"Ĭ:\Emulators\project64\project64.exe "C:\Emulators\roms\project64\Paperboy.zip" Now lets say you selected the game Paperboy to play from the MALA gamelist. %rom% = the name of the ROM file which MALA finds for you without the extensionįor example, lets say you have the following settings configured in MALA for project64:Įxecutable = C:\Emulators\project64\project64.exe %path% = the value you entered into the "Rom Path" line
