You're good with eqgame.exe. Your shortcut should have a "start in" field. Make sure that's defined as your install location - C:\EQEmu.

I'd throw you a screenshot but my windows box kicked the bucket and I haven't replaced it yet. I'm stuck on just the steam deck for now.

Here's another post I found with a quick search thanks to Drumas:

You were asked for a path, if you chose the default (see my first screen shot) then try creating a shortcut, for the target put:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe" patchme

and start in put:
"C:\Program Files(x86)\Sony\EverQuest"

However to save yourself some trouble down the road, you may want to consider copying your \Sony\EverQuest directory and pasting it somewhere such as the root of your C drive. So it would be at c:\Sony\Everquest. If you choose to do that then make sure your target path is:

C:\Sony\EverQuest\eqgame.exe patchme

and your start in path is
C:\Sony\EverQuest

Hopefully this helps you see what I'm talking about. Keep your install out of program files (like you've already done). Just edit the properties to tell it where to find eqgame.exe by defining the "start in" field.
