There was a problem hiding this comment.
Are you sure you need to allocate a copy of this string? The following should work:
base_path = "./"
This way, you don't have to SDL_free() later.

My OS (apparently) doesn't implement SDL_GetBasePath() and the emulator was crashing on startup.
Note: I haven't tested this on Windows, I don't have a way to do so. I don't know whether Windows gets upset about "./".
