| Example | mame64 spectrum batman -autoboot_command "j""""""\n" -autoboot_delay 5The Sinclair Spectrum used quick keyboard shortcuts to enter commands. "j" is the quick key for Load. Any quotes need to be inside... err... quotes to be shown. Thats why there are six quotes in the command just to create the command Load "". The \n is use for a new line. The delay is there to allow for the system to finish starting up. |
