Command Line Question

[Zaknafein]

I am having some ROM issues with command line loading.

This line works for this game:
"D:\Console Games\SNES\zsnesw151\zsnesw.exe" "D:\Console Games\SNES\Breath of Fire\Breath of Fire.smc"

This line does not work on this game:
"D:\Console Games\SNES\zsnesw151\zsnesw.exe" "D:\Console Games\SNES\Chrono Trigger\Chrono Trigger.smc"

The Chrono Trigger gives me a CHKSUM Fail
Breath Of Fire II works fine as well, but Arcana gives bad CHCKSUM too. But if I load the ROM while in ZSnes, it loads just fine. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced. Oh, and I am using ZSnes 1.51.

Checksums failing or passing is irrelevant to command lines, especially if you have patched the ROMs.

[Zaknafein]

It only happens when I run it with those lines in the shortcut and only on some games... If I Load the game from Inside ZSnes it works fine. So irrelevant or not, that didn't help me any... The games will not load if I use the shortcut command lines...

[grinvader]

Now that's interesting. Can we have the NSRT info for the roms that work when loaded through the GUI and not through command line ?

These so far are all I have tested. I will test the rest soon, as work been keeping me really busy. Anything else that I can get you to help?

Would ZSNES be using save/ips/etc from the current directory the command is executed (instead of in the ROM's or ZSNES's save folder) or something to that effect?

[Zaknafein]

I'm not sure what you mean? That is just a shortcut command. Elaborate, cause kinda confused. And it only fails to load rom on select games when done via shortcut command line. I been looking online and have not really found much about it.

@Truth Unknown
If it was just a checksum fail and the rom loaded fine, it could be soft-patching.
The weird thing is that it fails to load...

@Zaknafein
Can you change the rom filename so that it has no spaces, update the shortcut accordingly and retry ?

"D:\Console Games\SNES\zsnesw151\zsnesw.exe" "D:\Console Games\SNES\zsnesw151\zsnesw.exe" "D:\Console Games\SNES\Arcana\Arcana.smc" - Does not work, but works if I manually load it into the Emu Same with Chrono Trigger. It almost acts like it is loading a whole completely different file. Not even the same CRC number, any ideas? Something else I just noticed, when I load it by command line, and it does that, I hit escape. click Load, and it is in a blank folder, I hit up directory, and brings me to D:\Console Games\SNES\ and i see all my game folders. but it does not seem like it went to the right folder for the rom, and the directory line is right.
Command Line Load



Manual Load

[Zaknafein]

Upon further revue, for some reason it is looking in the zsnesw151 folder for the ROM. Wait, can that be? Ok some how the load line got loaded twice before loading the rom, but what is funny is the other times I copy and pasted it and posted it, it did not show the double load, like in my first post, until just now, problem fixed, sorry all! Wow, strange, but ok... No idea what the heck happened there!

"D:\Console Games\SNES\zsnesw151\zsnesw.exe" "D:\Console Games\SNES\zsnesw151\zsnesw.exe" "D:\Console Games\SNES\Arcana\Arcana.smc" - Does not work, but works if I manually load it into the Emu Same with Chrono Trigger.

if your commandline isn't a typo, that's your problem right there - you're effectively calling "zsnes zsnes romname.smc" which is trying to load zsnes.exe as a rom image.

read the post after that one, but when i copy and pasted first time it did not show it

Maybe ZSNES should be aware of loading itself?

Last time we did that a weird robot appeared from a big ball of lightning bolt and tried to kill us all with impeccably buttered toasts.
After dealing with the threat in an appropriately messy fashion, we wisely decided to remove that bit of code.

Ok I have no joke to go with that, but I do have a Hhahahahaaahaahahahahaaa ZOMFGWTFBBQSAUCEPRINGLES I about peed myself. Well played sir, well played.

Is that what happened to my little Zappy-chan? You bastards owe me money!
