Possible to Auto Load a file at startup?

[VashEXE]

I have been working on a little setup using multiple windows to shiny hunt. I have 6 instances of mGBA that I'm starting up with a Powershell script with their locations manually set in the qt.ini file, so they open in the correct locations. Currently I need to manually load a .gba file in each instance of mGBA, but I was hoping I could somehow either auto load a file I specify by it's path or use a hotkey to load a file.

I've tried setting a hotkey to load Recent File 0 in my list, but it only appears to work after I manually load a rom first.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yes, you can just pass the filename as an argument to the program in the script the same way you would pass it to any other program

Hey @endrift

I appreciate the reply! I'm pretty new to all of this, but was able to get this figured out after your pointer. For anybody else wondering about this, check out the changes I made below.

Right now I'm just launching 6 separate instances with different configs via Powershell:

& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^BL\mGBA.exe"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^BM\mGBA.exe"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^BR\mGBA.exe"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^TL\mGBA.exe"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^TM\mGBA.exe"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^TR\mGBA.exe"

To load files, all you need to do is add " -load "rompath":

& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^BL\mGBA.exe" -load "rompath"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^BM\mGBA.exe" -load "rompath"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^BR\mGBA.exe" -load "rompath"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^TL\mGBA.exe" -load "rompath"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^TM\mGBA.exe" -load "rompath"
& "C:\Users\User\Desktop\mGBA\^TR\mGBA.exe" -load "rompath"

That will get this booting right up into whatever game you want.

Thanks again for your help on this!

I'm not sure the -load does anything here. Maybe it's a powershell thing? mGBA itself doesn't have a parameter called that
