 ===Commandline support===
+PCSX2 have a simple but good commandline support. You can start your games using this format:
+<code>
+:pcsx2 [options] [cdimage]
+</code>
+The main options are:
+* <code>-nogui</code> -- the program will not show GUI and will exit on ESC
+* <code>-skipbios</code> -- skips BIOS on ISO loading (so you will not have to wait)
+* <code>-elf [file]</code> -- executes an ELF image (like PS2 demo, not useful for games, though)
+* <code>-nodisc</code> -- will not start ISO/DVD and will only load BIOS (so you can configure language there)
+* <code>-usecd</code> -- will start the configured CDVD image (if you have previously configured one in CDVD plugin configuration)
+To get the full list of available options start pcsx2 with <code>-help</code> parameter.
+The ordinary user may use this to create a shortcut to his/her game on the desktop so that PCSX2 will run the game immediately. To do this make a link to PCSX2 main executable (pcsx2.exe) and update the '''target''' field of this link adding something lake <code>-skipbios "C:\PS2\yourgame.iso"</code>. So you can start '''C:\PS2\yourgame.iso''' right from your desktop!
