View source for PCSX2 Documentation/The return of the Commandline!

''Originally written by Jake Stine''

After its absence for many moons, the Commandline functionality will finally be restored to PCSX2. Third-party frontend and config-manager authors rejoice! ... and hopefully stop hating my guts, too. To paraphrase Darth Vader: '''"Witness the power of this fully armed and operational Command line-driven battlestation."''' (we all know a command line-driven death star would have been way cooler than some click-and-drag crap.) The new PCSX2 command line should be functional in our next beta release, which should be out pretty soon, and it will work as follows:

'''Syntax:''' 
<code>pcsx2 [IsoFile] --toggle --option=value ... etc</code><br />
Where <code>[IsoFile]</code> is an optional ISO image to load and run on startup; uses the PCSX2 internal ISO loader.


General Options:
*'''<code>--cfg=[file]</code>''' specify a custom configuration file to use instead of PCSX2.ini (does not affect plugins)
*'''<code>--cfgpath=[dir]</code>''' specifies the config folder; applies to pcsx2 + plugins
*'''<code>--help</code>''' display this help text
*'''<code>--forcewiz</code>''' forces running of the First-time Wizard (selection of docs folders and what-not)

Auto-Run Options:
*'''<code>--elf=[file]</code>''' executes an ELF image
*'''<code>--nogui</code>''' disables display of the gui on exit (program auto-exits)
*'''<code>--nodisc</code>''' boots with an empty dvd tray; use this to boot into the PS2 system menu
*'''<code>--usecd</code>''' uses the configured CDVD plugin instead of IsoFile

Compatibility Options:
*'''<code>--nohacks</code>''' disables all speedhacks
*'''<code>--gamefixes=[fix,fix]</code>''' Enable specific gamefixes for this session. Valid fixes in 0.9.7 are: VuAddSub, VuClipFlag, FpuCompare, FpuNegDiv, XGKick, IpuWait, EETiming, SkipMpeg
*'''<code>--fullboot</code>''' disables the quick boot feature, forcing you to sit through the PS2 startup splash screens

Plugin Overrides (specified dlls will be used in place of configured dlls):
*'''<code>--cdvd=[dllpath]</code>''' override for the CDVD plugin
*'''<code>--gs=[dllpath]</code>''' override for the GS plugin
*'''<code>--spu=[dllpath]</code>''' override for the SPU2 plugin
*'''<code>--pad=[dllpath]</code>''' override for the PAD plugin only
*'''<code>--dev9=[dllpath]</code>''' override for the DEV9 plugin
*'''<code>--usb=[dllpath]</code>''' override for the USB plugin only
