Hello,

I want to directly launch a game in Citra in fullscreen by clicking on a created shortcut. I am trying to do this by making a shortcut of citra-qt.exe and typing the following commands in the Properties box of the created shortcut:
In the Target field I type: “<my citra-qt.exe path>” -g “<my game.3ds path>” -f
In the Start In field I type the path to the folder containing citra-qt.exe

When I do this and I double click on the shortcut, Citra itself launches fine but immediately an error pops up saying that “the ROM format is not supported”. However, when I launch citra-qt.exe by myself and select the game, it launches normally.

What am I doing wrong here and how to fix this?

Make sure that your ROM doesn't have accents or weird characters like that in its filename.
It happened to me that making a .bat with start citra-qt.exe "(PATH)\Pokémon Omega Ruby.3ds" wasn't working, but when I renamed my ROM File from "Pokémon Omega Ruby.3ds" to "Pokemon Omega Ruby.3ds", it worked just fine.
