## Usage

Download the [archive](https://github.com/zduny/cemu-shortcut-helper/releases/download/v0.1.0/shortcut-helper.zip) 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](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/) 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.
