What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.
When passing the path (and filename) as command line argument, either with -e or not, the emulator turns all non-ASCII characters to _ and would complain that it can't find E:\fireemblem\9______.gcm, when the path is actually E:\fireemblem\9_蒼炎の軌跡.gcm. What game it is does not matter here. The problem occurs with another rom file named 10_暁の女神.wbfs too. However, loading these roms from File - Open or the list in the main window succeeds with no problems. My system is in Japanese locale and these are all Japanese characters, and therefore are contained in the CP932 character set.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Change the filename or path of the ROM to contain non-ASCII characters, such as テスト
- Run (for example)
Dolphin.exe -e テスト.gcmorDolphin.exe テスト.gcm - Watch Dolphin complain that it can't find
___.gcm

Only tested on 5.0-3667
What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)
