ePSXe Command-Line Switches

[PSXFAN]

hi ppl...

can anyone helpme to make a complete list of ALL command line switches on epsxe 1.60? documented and undocumented ones...

for example the: -oldtiming is not listed in the help file.

please post commandlines and a short description of each one.
please DON`T REPEAT THEM!

thankyou!

[fireblaster_lyz]

Check google...oh some of the switches do not work in ePSXe 1.6.0

[hushypushy]

well let's see.... off the top of my head i can only think of one, sorry...

-slowboot (shows the BIOS screen)

i know there are more though

[n_w95482]

I don't recall hearing about undocumented switches but I know that some of them that were present in 1.5.2 are no longer functioning in 1.6.0.

Here's some that I can recall right now:
-nogui
-noseekinxa
-nomdec
-loadbin

[fireblaster_lyz]

Included in this text file is the switches for ePSXe 1.2.0 and above.
(Unusable) states that these switches cannot be used in ePSXe 1.6.0.
(???) states that the switches, when activated, do not give an indication of any form of GUI but seen activated in the Processes (Windows 2000/XP Home/XP Professional/XP 64-bit) and/or Close Program Window (Windows 95/98/98SE/ME).

thanks fireblaster_lyz. i merged your thread with PSXFAN's similar thread from earlier this week.

[fireblaster_lyz]

Thanks...I did this in two days testing and such...

- Multiples games can be played using additional commands like:
Rebelt Assault 2 (-noignorecmd), Micromaniacs (-cdtiming),
Front Mission 3 (-nocdinc).

is there any way of telling epsxe to boot cd through command line? The -cdrom option appears to be dead in the newer release...

I know, this is probably a stupid question

nm, I just noticed nogui mode does it by default.....

[fireblaster_lyz]

Haha...yes, it's -nogui. Avoid double-posting...an edit button does its job.
