I'm trying to associate Genesis games (.md) to Emuhawk so I can just double click on the games directly, but I don't understand why I'm not able to. I was previously using BizHawk-1.11.6 and I extracted BizHawk-2.8 on top of the previous files. I'm also using Win7 64bit. -I go through the standard methods of either right clicking on the file -> Open with or Properties -> Change. -I browse to look for Emuhawk.exe (because it's not in the initial list of programs), but when I select it, it brings me back to that initial list of programs and Emuhawk doesn't appear. -As a test, I tried assigning the rom to other emulators and it worked fine. I also tried assigning it to DiscoHawk/BizHawk.Client.DBMan/MultiHawk and those worked fine too. -As a second test, I extracted Bizhawk 2.8 on a completely new folder just in case there was some conflict with the previous version of Bizhawk, and nothing, still the same result. -I used a program called "FileTypesMan" and when I force it to use Emuhawk.exe, it says "Error 5: Access is denied". So I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions?

Did you ever run EmuHawk after extracting it properly? It may need to run at least once to remove the MotW (Windows malware protection flag) from the files.
I contribute to BizHawk as Linux/cross-platform lead, testing and automation lead, and UI designer. This year, I'm experimenting with streaming BizHawk development on Twitch. nope Links to find me elsewhere and to some of my side projects are on my personal site. I will respond on Discord faster than to PMs on this site.
Hey look buddy, I'm an engineer. That means I solve problems. Not problems like "What is software," because that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems. For instance, how am I gonna stop some high-wattage thread-ripping monster of a CPU dead in its tracks? The answer: use code. And if that don't work? Use more code.

Yeah of course, I run it all the time. I just have to either drag and drop the rom or use the emu's file menu. I've been using Bizhawk for like, 10 years now? But I've never been able to assign an extension to it.

Where exactly is this not working? Is it just Windows refusing to bind an extension to EmuHawk? Or is it letting you bind an extension but double clicking clicking the rom just does nothing?

The first one.

Same thing. I extracted Bizhawk on a fresh folder on my desktop and directly in the C: root folder too and ran both programs. Then I did the "open with -> Browse -> Emuhawk" process and nothing. When I click on emuhawk it brings me back to the program list, but Emuhawk is not on the list.
