Shortcut Executable

Adaman · June 10th, 2012, 21:44

Ahoy! I'd like to make a desktop shortcut that launches VBA and also a specified rom all with one double click. But, I'm unsure how to do it exactly, sounds like it would be simple enough. Thanks

What OS are you using first (ex. Windows, Mac OSX, etc...)? If it's Windows, then you can just double click a .gba rom, which will bring up a pop-up window. From there you just need to follow the windows options.

How do I use an emulator?

Using Windows 7 64 bit, but again I'm looking to make it a one click (or double click rather) launch. So I would need some sort of command line to put in the shortcut to open VBA and the rom in the same executable.

Hi Adaman,

I found this turorial: http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials...t-program.html

With this method, you can choose a program (here your emulator) that can open definitively the ".gba" files if you check the option "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file".
After that, when you do a click or double click on a ".gba" file, your emulator will be opened and your game will start automatically.

In a friendly manner,
IMBERT Jacques-Olivier
