gamepath||#folder|path to the items that have to be launched (for mame keep this empty and use the paths in mame.ini)|
workingdir||#folder|set the working directory to this path. in most cases that will be the same as the emupath|
shortnamepath||#folder|some, mostly dos based, emus can't lauch games with long file names. for those set this path to the location you keep the games. for all others keep this empty. The fe will search this path for the filename and then it will use the shortname to launch it. Keep this also to false when you don't have the complete filename with extension in the gamelist!|
