Title: E-uae
Post by: haywirepc on June 16, 2010, 06:18:09 PM
Does anyone know, is there a way you can specify the config file from command line and bypass the graphic control menu to start?

I mean can I just use a commandline to get it to start without having to click start in the gui startup program?

Hi. Yes, you just open .uaerc in your home catalog and you specify in there that it shall not use gui :-) Option is called "use_gui=yes". Set this to "=no". Works like a dream for me.

.uaerc should live directly in your home directory.

Being a dot file, it may be hidden depending on your desktop settings. Just use a terminal based text editor like nano/vim/emacs/whatever :)

Do you mean .uaerc?  Because you cannot create a file called ".uaerc" Gives an error.  I have default.uaerc in my home dir and I also want it to load this file when it runs, instead it opens up a file requestor on my Desktop.

Hi haywirepc.

Try to open your 'home' folder on your desktop.
then press 'crtl+h'
its  shows the hidden files in the folder.

it works for me.
my os is xubuntu for my amiga emulator box.

What? Which distro are you using? No, I don't mean .uaerc, I mean .uaerc on it's own, with nothing before the dot. Like .bashrc and all the others.

Filenames beginning with dot are commonplace in linux systems. Type ls -la, you should see plenty of them.
