Running EmuGUI outside of its directory returns error code W-08-SV0B8 #94

Expected behavior: EmuGUI runs as normal
Actual behavior: Error code W-08-SV0B8 returned, program fails to start

Similar issues: #81

I'm running on arch, and I noticed this issue when I tried writing a .desktop file to launch the program. After some experimentation, I found that running emugui from any terminal outside of the EmuGUI installation directory fails and returns the above error code. My workaround for the issue was to write a shell script as follows:
cd {the path to your emugui directory}
./emugui
This shell script can be executed from any terminal, and the application launches as expected. This should be trivial to integrate into the official release. Thank you very much for making such a cool program! Other than this, the installation was very easy. I look forward to using it :)

    You might want to make an Arch package and install it. If you are unable to do so, please ask @user0-07161 for help.

    Hello @Jacobacon215, as a former "debian package packager", if you would like to create the arch packages, my personal workaround was the same as yours, if I recall correctly I've places a script in /usr/bin that cd's into the directory (I placed it in /opt), and runs EmuGUI from there.
