Create Windows shortcuts (with icons) to all games installed in Cemu with a single double-click.
If you like this tool and would like to see more emulation related projects, please consider buying me a coffee.
Download the archive from releases tab, unpack its contents into your Cemu directory (make sure to not create a containing directory -
shortcut-helper.exe
has to be in the same directory as Cemu.exe
).
Internet connection is required for program to work correctly - icons are downloaded from GameFAQs website.
Now you have two choices:
- starting
Create shortcuts - windowed mode.bat
will create shortcuts that will start game in windowed mode, - starting
Create shortcuts - fullscreen mode.bat
will create shortcuts that will start game in fullscreen mode.
Icons are downloaded into icons
directory (it will be created in Cemu directory).
Created shortcuts will be placed in shortcuts
directory (it will be created in Cemu directory).
Yoy may then move them to any location you like (for example: desktop).
Starting program again will overwrite existing files (icons and shortcuts in directories mentioned above).
If you plan to fork this project, to make debugging easier I recommend copying Cemu.exe
and settings.xml
from your Cemu directory into project root - otherwise program will error out very early on cargo run
.
Also, piece of advice: don't start resulting shortcuts as they will launch Cemu.exe
and pollute your project directory.
For final testing it's better to just move cemu-shortcut-helper.exe
from target
to your Cemu directory and launch it there.
