cant load cd32 from command line

[xevious1974]

Hi
I am trying to load an image from command line but cannot.

I am using this:

winuae64.exe -f CD32.uae -G -s quickstart=cd32,0 -cdimage=full_path_to_Rom

It starts and then CD32 logo appears and also the request to insert the disc.
If I try from GUI, no problem, it loads.

So, I suppose I cant load, for some reason, the cue file from command line.

I have also tried removing some options like:

winuae64.exe -f CD32.uae -cdimage=full_path_to_Rom
but nothing change.

What I am doing wrong?
thank you in advance!

What is -G?

-s quickstart=cd32,0 -cdimage=path/to/cd.cue -s use_gui=no works for me. (or replace quickstart with -f yourcd32.uae).

Also remember to quote whole "-cdimage=path" parameter if path has spaces.

("quickstart" probably also should be separate real command line parameter, -s looks stupid)

YES!!! Thank you!

It loads!

-G ehm, I have read on a thread, I have searched for it but I didn't know what was for.

I think my mistake was not to quote.
So, I can remove quote only if image file name has no space.
This means that for Launchbox I have to rename the file without quote and rebuild the cue file.

Thank you again!

Now it works from command line.
I have changed rom name to remove blank spaces and so I removed "path"
and it works

In launchbox I have added
-f cd32.uae -s use_gui=no -cdimage=


in personal command line...but it does not load the image.
There is something wrong. I'll try to ask in launchbox forum.

Anyway, thank you again for your support. I have learned something more and I wrote a note in a notepad to remember all this.

I have resolved, maybe can help someone else.
In launchbox you have to remove quotes also from emulator option. And now it works ^_^

You can check winuaebootlog.txt if you are not sure how winuae parsed the command line. (It is near the beginning of log)
