Command Line Interface

[djvj]

How do I run a game through CLI? No matter what I throw at it, it just opens up demul and sits there.

I have tried
demul -rom=ROMNAME
demul -rom=ROMNAME.zip
demul -customrom=ROMNAME
demul -customrom=ROMNAME.zip
demul -rom="PATH\ROMNAME"
demul -rom="PATH\ROMNAME.zip"
demul -customrom="PATH\ROMNAME"
demul -customrom="PATH\ROMNAME.zip"

Just got it, it's:


demul -run=naomi -rom=ROMNAMEWITHOUTEXTENSION

customrom does not seem to work right though.

demul -run=naomi -customrom="PATH\ROMNAME.EXT"
demul -run=naomi -customrom="PATH\ROMNAME"
demul -run=naomi -customrom=PATH\ROMNAME.EXT
demul -run=naomi -customrom=PATH\ROMNAME

If I don't use the extension, I get an error about not finding the file, which is correct. If I do use it demul just sits there.

Is there a way to make demul able to auto recognize the system used?
Something like "demul -run=AUTO -rom=ROMNAMEWITHOUTEXTENSION"

No. At least not in my experience. Demul needs to know what BIOS to use, and none of the game romsets themselves contain that information.

im waiting patiently for your naomi hyperspin release that will be sweet.

Something like "demul -run=AUTO -rom=ROMNAMEWITHOUTEXTENSION"

that could be easily done with an external file, like

gamename=systemname
gamename2=systemname2

or

[systemname]
game1
game2
game3

[systemname2]
game1
game2
game3

some people, specially emu developers might find this a hassle to maintain.
... unless this information is already listed somewhere in the emu's source code that can be easily extracted.

or it could be done with an internal database.
