:FIXED: I get an error when booting a PC game.

[bartre]

well, I've looked around on the forums and google, but i just can't figure out what i need to do.
I've got my Mala set up to boot PC games, but when i try to load Guilty Gear XX Reload it gives me an error
"Failed to execute program "". Error code 2."
now, i don't know what to do, because any other PC program that i try to load will simply run, i only get the error with Guilty gear
any help?

it will usually fail to load with that error if the path to your shortcut is wrong.
check your path to your shortcut
check your shortcut actually works

okay, I checked both of those, and both passed, but i put a new shortcut in the folder just in case, but now all that happens is that it opens a command prompt, then closes and goes back to mala.

[dungbeetle46]

do you have %rom% under your command line

[dungbeetle46]

you may need to run it from a batch file

open a new txt file
in it put


@echo off
set path=c:\Program Files\put  your game here etc
start/max your game.exe

now save it as
whatever your game name is Guilty Gear etc.bat
now make a shortcut to this and launch from this shortcut
see if that helps

yeah, i do, and here's a couple pics of my config:





:EDIT:
i made the batch file, but now it just went back to error code 2
but the difference is that now it's reading out the file location of the original .exe

FIXED!
I used the batch file as suggested, but i had to mess with the file paths
After renaming some things, it worked perfectly!
