*** Running: E:\Arc of Wonders\attract-v2.6.1-win64...\emulators\RetroArch.\retroarch.exe -L ....\emulators\RetroArch\cores\flycast_libretro.dll "E:\Arc of Wonders\attract-v2.6.1-win64...\roms\dreamcast/\Toy Commander v1.022 (1999)(Sega)(NTSC)(US)(M4)[!][12S 51020]\Toy Commander v1.022 (1999)(Sega)(NTSC)(US)(M4)[!][12S 51020].GDI" --appendconfig "....\emulators\RetroArch\config\sega dreamcast.cfg"

While the above actually works, check out "/\" before "toy commander". It seems your compiled code is adding this forward slash to both magic tokens because it's there even if i don't include that in my config. I'm asking that you remove that. I keep trying to get around it for the below example but have failed so far. There is no reason to add things and users should have full control of the command line due to things like this;

Retroarch does not accept below command until i removed your forward slash. Maybe it's due to m3u or rearmed, but either way if I run this by command line with extra slash it works perfect. *** Running: E:\Arc of Wonders\attract-v2.6.1-win64...\emulators\RetroArch\retroarch.exe -L ....\emulators\RetroArch\cores\pcsx_rearmed_libretro.dll "E:\Arc of Wonders\attract-v2.6.1-win64...\roms\playstation/\Armored Core - Master of Arena\Armored Core - Master of Arena.m3u" --appendconfig "....\emulators\RetroArch\config\sony playstation.cfg"

I'm using both your stable and daily.

this was bad: 'args -L ....\emulators\RetroArch\cores\pcsx_rearmed_libretro.dll "[rompath][name][name].m3u" --appendconfig "....\emulators\RetroArch\config\sony playstation.cfg"

this got around the issue: 'args -L ....\emulators\RetroArch\cores\pcsx_rearmed_libretro.dll "....\roms\playstation[name][name].m3u" --appendconfig "....\emulators\RetroArch\config\sony playstation.cfg"
