No problem to start standalone programs.

I'm getting this too, was just coming to ask about it

This is unrelated with #18 , will fix ASAP.

Fixed launching of ROMs in Favourites. Still working on the Collections, but Favoruites should work now.

Getting this when launching from favorites:

OK, this new issue is new an related with Unicode. I need you to verify this:

1) Does the same problem happen when you launch the same ROM from its launcher instead of Favourites?

2) If so: A) Turn OFF all debug settings of Kodi. B) In AEL, Setting -- Advanced turn ON AEL DEBUG. C) Reproduce the bug under this conditions and post the whole log in pastebin. I will be able to see the characters of your launching program and arguments to track down the problem.

[jader9920]

1. It happens no matter where I launch from.
2. If this is not the correct log let me know: http://pastebin.com/d8m0TAhD

[Wintermute0110]

That log is perfect. I think I know what happens. You are using the typographical quote “ instead of the normal ASCII QUOTE " and hence the problem. Try to change it and report results.

[jader9920]

Removed quotes from the launch parameters, PS2 is working now, I am still getting an error when attempting to launch Gamecube games. Is this the same type of error?

[jader9920]

Disregard the last comment. I figured out what was wrong, I was putting the launch arguments in the wrong order so the quotes were passing to AEL instead of the emulator itself. It works now.
