Copy link

exit code 1, as seen in es_log.txt

all .url links (steam games) and .lnk links (non-steam games) work except those with ampersands and parentheses. Running "C:\Users\micha\roms\steam\Fantastic Contraption Classic 1 & 2.url" (with the quotes) works perfectly in command prompt, but ES running the same command just returns to the menu as if the file isn't there.

Here's the part of es_systems.cfg for steam in case that helps:

<system> <name>steam</name> <fullname>Steam</fullname> <path>~\roms\steam</path> <extension>.txt .exe .EXE .lnk .url</extension> <command>"%ROM_RAW%"</command> <platform>steam</platform> <theme>steam</theme> </system>

Renaming the files makes it work, it just would be nice to not have to do that.
