Loading MESS from CLI

RetroArch Windows devices
#1

I was wondering how I could load roms for mess from the command-line without softlists? Softlists are working fine, but I was trying to load an FM Towns Marty image that isn’t in the softlists. I have turned ‘load from cli’ on in core options, and I have tried every permutation I can think of with the instructions found on http://www.libretro.com/index.php/mamemessume-cores/

The best I can come up with is something like this,

.\retroarch -rompath “d:\ROMS\MESS” fmtmarty “D:\ROMS\FM Towns\Games\Tatsujin Ou\Tatsujin Ou.cue” -c “.\configs\Mess.cfg”

The mess bios files and softlist roms are in ‘D:\ROMS\MESS’ The disc image is ‘D:\ROMS\FM Towns\Games\Tatsujin Ou\Tatsujin Ou.cue’

I am using lordrasham’s build from 27/08/2014

Now i’m sure it’s probably something simple, but I can’t for the life of me figure it out.

#2

I just saw this on the bottom of the MESS/UME/MAME help page

  • commandline support is in place but not working yet.

Oh, ok then.

#3

it’s working now, that post is rather old. enable experimental cli and then put your options like this

retroarch -L mess_libretro.dll " -cart nes nestest.zip" you might need to specify rom folders too

#4

Yes this post is very old and since Cmline working fine . But you have to enable boot_from_cli ( i also disable softlist since i don’t use them) Can’t test for Win but at least under linux to load your game you have to do:


retroarch -L ume_libretro.so "fmtmarty  -cdrom /somwhere/TatsujinOu.iso -rp  /elsewhere/romsmess"

Note that retroarch option have to be first (your -c config) , then mess/ume option have to be inside " ". if you have longname you have to use a \ before " inside the " " . hope to be clear :slight_smile:

So to match your sample (in a linux way)


retroarch -L ume_libretro.dll -c .\configs\Mess.cfg  "fmtmarty -cdrom  \"D:\ROMS\FM Towns\Games\Tatsujin Ou\Tatsujin Ou.cue\"  -rp D:\ROMS\MESS\ "

Now on win maybe you have to deal differently with quote and doublequote for path .

#5

Thanks for the replies,

But, this is driving me nuts. Ok, so this is what I believe should be working,

.\retroarch -c .\configs\mess.cfg "fmtmarty -cdrm “D:\ROMS\FM Towns\Games\Tatsujin Ou\Tatsujin Ou.cue” -rompath D:\ROMS\MESS\ "

But I still can’t get it working. I noticed in the console it says,

RetroArch: [libretro INFO] :: Starting game from command line:d:\roms\mess" parse path failed! path=d:\roms\mess" RetroArch: [libretro DEBUG] :: Searching for driver d:\roms\mess" RetroArch [WARN] :: [libretro WARN] :: Driver d:\roms\mess" not found -1 game not found: d:\roms\mess" RetroArch: [libretro DEBUG] :: Searching for driver roms RetroArch [WARN] :: [libretro WARN] :: Driver roms not found -1

Maybe it is just broken for windows in this build.

#6

Nah it’s just the syntax. Did you enable cli in core options?

#7

Yeah I’ve got load from CLI enabled, here’s a full console output if it helps. (i deleted a chunk containing the input options as it hit the max allowed characters)

.\retroarch -v -c .\configs\mess.cfg "fmtmarty -cdrm “D:\ROMS\FM Towns\Games\Tatsujin Ou\Tatsujin Ou.cue” -rompath D:\ROMS\MESS\ "

.\retroarch -v -c .\configs\mess.cfg "fmtmarty -cdrm \"D:\ROMS\FM Towns\Games\Tatsujin Ou\Tatsujin Ou.cue" -rompath D:\ROMS\MESS\ "

you use " for opening but not for ending in “D:ROMS…” , you have to use both , for opening and ending a double quote inside a double quote . then you use -cdrm , and you have to use -cdrom. edit: cdrm seems to be valid , but can you test with closing your rom path with like ".

No matter what I try, I still can’t get it to load from the prompt. I’ve tried multiple versions of RetroArch, every little change of syntax I can think of, gone over all the configs, paths, even tried alternate command line interpreters. I am absolutely stumped. Anyway, I give up for the moment.

Thanks for the help though everyone.
