WinUAE Command Line Problem

[mrv2k]

I'm using WinUAE v4.4.0 and I've come across a problem when I try and use the command line to run a CD32 program.

If i use

winuae -f CD32.uae -cfgparam cdimage0="Alien Breed Special Edition & Qwak (Europe) (En,Fr,De,It,Da).zip"

WinUAE doesn't receive the whole path and displays

Alien Breed Special Edition & Qwak (Europe) (En,Fr,De,It

in the CD drive/image path.

If i use

winuae -f CD32.uae -cfgparam cdimage0="Alien Breed Special Edition & Qwak (Europe) (EnFrDeItDa).zip"

it works fine.

Looks like it is processing the path wrong. Maybe to do with all the commas.

There is no problem if I select either image file from the UI.

Currently at work, but I had a similar issue with "Simon The Sorcerer II: The Lion, The Wizard And The Wardrobe", and yes it's to do with comma.

I think you need to put a "," at the end of line.

I'll check when home and give you the correct syntax; unless of course Toni chimes in

Bah, easy for me to replicate at work

Here is the syntax:

hardfile2=rw,DH0:".\\Simon The Sorcerer II The Lion, The Wizard And The Wardrobe.hdf",32,1,2,512,0,,uae0
uaehf0=hdf,rw,DH0:".\\Simon The Sorcerer II The Lion, The Wizard And The Wardrobe.hdf",32,1,2,512,0,,uae0

Or more relevant to CD32, note the extra comma after the filename:

cdimage0=.\Simon The Sorcerer II The Lion, The Wizard And The Wardrobe.cue,

Here is the syntax, not the comma after the line in quotes:

It's a slightly different problem. It's the commas in the name of the image file that aren't being processed correctly.

Thanks DamienD. That worked. WinUAE must expect a parameter after the image name.

Yes, but only if the filename has a comma in it.

cdimage0=.\Akira.cue
