Hi, I'm qashto I created Nostlan which is a frontend for video game emulators. I would like to have Nostlan support melonDS instead of Desmume. But right now it seems melonDS lacks the ability to start games via the command line. I'd also like melonDS to go fullscreen. Love this app but please add command line functionality!

melonDS should be able to start games from the command line, let me know if there are any bugs with that

as for fullscreen it's on the TODO list

thanks for the quick response! I tried to run melonDS.exe with a game from git Bash on windows but since the game file name had single quotes in it, it wasn't working. It ran fine on powershell and on Git Bash if I edited the single quotes out of the file name. Not a problem for loading games in node.js though. I've decided to switch support to melonDS! Excited for the fullscreen feature. Let me know when you release it

Feature Request: Command line option to identify a game by printing the game ID to the console.

This would make it much easier for my frontend app Nostlan to identify games without using the file name! Let me know if this is something you'd be willing to implement.

I don't know if opening the files is an option for your app, but the game ID is part of the first 16 header bytes.

Hey, pretty new to DS emulation, just discovered this emulator. Since I am using front end, I would need to launch the games via command line, I googled for the supported cmd line arguments but did not find anything. Would you be so kind and point me to where the cmd line arguments are listed?

Also since this is an old thread, how is fullscreen feature coming along?

Regards!

Thank you, will the command work if the file is in a zip archive?

Could a specific configuration file be loaded using the command line?
for example melonds --settings melonds2.ini

What about Windows? Using Launchbox as front end and just having the game as argument does NOT work.
