I like the simple way you achieved this here, but this can no longer work due to refactoring of code The force_file command was superseeded by the scan_mask_add one ( https://github.com/pocomane/Main_MiSTer/commit/52f5679e3cd14cf42d9ffd2a5786614cc380b301 ), that seemed more polished to me. In both you have to select a rom from the menu (manually o...

Thanks a TON for taking the time to make this post!

My MiSTer completely breaks HDMI-CEC on my LG UJ6200 TV for all other devices connected to the TV. Meaning, my Nvidia Shield can no longer automatically turn on and off the TV via using the Shield remote, which is SUPER annoying.

I wonder if there's a cheaper version of the Lindy out there?

Loading a rom from the command line should already work with my patch (practically it is the core of the patch). A script should just write the following lines to /dev/MiSTer_cmd: - scan_mask_add /path/to/rom - select_a_rom - scan_clear This still uses the "Input emulation" and "Fake filesystem" methods (and as I said, I would ...

MiSTer's Linux is tuned to be embedded Linux. Main purpose is to service the cores. It's not supposed to be a full featured GUI. Main MiSTer function is to play the emulated systems, not launchers. More Linux part popping out -more Linux problems it will bring. You want a full featured Linux with different launchers - use RPi. You really don't nee...

So I set up the build environment, but it looks like significant code changes have happened between this proposed commit and now.

For example, there is no "struct cmdentry" anymore! Perhaps someone more familiar with the codebase can lead me in the correct direction of how to do this now?

Great work, I love this method. Should work on all OSes, desktop and mobile included. Etcher is a imaging tool that I keep on all my OSes. This works very nicely.

It appears that another user also thought of a similar idea to mine, see here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/issues/190 Basically, one should be able to launch a specific rom file via command line. Currently, this is not possible. But with a trivial code change as discussed in link, this becomes possible. Can we please merge this com...
