Custom command line parameter's dosn't seem to change anything??

[ModerateNOOB]

Hi community.

I'm trying to set up a few games on retroarch by changing the core from the default one that most of my games use.

At the moment i'm trying to change the core to mesen_libretro for Arkanoid on the nes as my default nestopia_libretro core don't have the option of using paddle controls and be able to move in-game, But when i type in the name of the core in custom command-line parameters and check the box the game won't boot until i uncheck it again.

 

Is there any setting i have to turn of in retroarch that i might have missed??, I could use an emulator outside of retroarch, But it's so much easier just using it to manage everything. 

 

Regards from Thomas.

What is the exact text you are entering in the custom command line field? 
 

if you are entering just the name that will not work. You need to enter the full command line such as:

-L “cores\mesen_libretro.dll”

Thank's for clarifying that!!, Don't know where i got the idea to move the " from the command line (probably from to much Christmas schnapps i guess)

 

Merry Christmas and a good new year ?
