Usage

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).

Development

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.
