Problem with -f (configuration) and -s (parameter) in command line

Foebane · 05 May 2021, 06:33

I'm using a system where I can load configurations with -f into WinUAE with the command line, and then modify them with -s per parameter as I need to.

In one case, I am trying to switch from regular HiRes to SuperHiRes via this method, and while all I have to do is to write

Code:

-s gfx_resolution=superhires

and this replaces the original parameter, the tricky part is when I change

Code:

gfx_filter_horiz_zoom_multf=2.000000

to just

Code:

gfx_filter_horiz_zoom_multif=1.000000

which doesn't seem to work, because when I changed "Horiz. size" in "Filter" from 2 to 1, a comparison showed that the second parameter (gfx_filter_horiz_zoom_multif) disappeared when changed that way.

So how do I achieve what I want with "gfx_filter_horiz_zoom"? Or how do I remove a configuration parameter from the command-line with -s?

Test first with some simple config entries before trying something too special.

Like toggling leds, window size etc..

I investigated the configuration parameters in Shell with "uae-configuration", and it turns out that I had the right idea in the first place...

...it failed because I made a typo in my script, visible in the OP.

I apologise for the inconvenience, and I would prefer it if this thread could be deleted.
