#698 Command line -OPTION bug
Hi!
After long time using prepared configs of VICE emulators, I tried to configure x64sc and xcbm5x0 and saved config to specified file.
I created shortcut with path to emulator, option and configuration path.
Configuration is never loaded, always are used default configs.
I saw this bug first time in build 30325.
Here's detail shortcut (like is):
"D:\Commodore\Commodore 128\VICE NEW\VICE\x64sc.exe" -config "D:\Commodore\Commodore 128\VICE NEW\CONFIGS\vice64scini"

please attach the config file you are trying to load, and the vice.log from a failed attempt
Used option is -config
it doesnt work here because of wrong paths for the ROMS in that ini - but it certainly is loaded.... please test again with a freshly saved ini
I did it same way except one: I copied dos2000 and dos4000 to drives folder and works.
Then removed to check if it was problem - and not, really don't understand...
Works with same paths, nothing changed only CMD-4000 is not enabled, there's 1581...
FD-2000/4000 is old known problem of x128 - there are not running generally - computer only hangs, but it's long time ago reported bug.

so could you create an as small as possible vice-ini that does NOT work?
When a VICE emulator is started, it does not talk about the configuration file. If VICE sees something that it does not like, then it ignores the file; but, VICE says nothing about it. You must load that config. file (a second time) from inside VICE. Then, VICE will say why it does not like that file.
Use "Settings -> Load settings from specified file". Exit from VICE; then, look near the bottom of the log file. You should see error messages about some resources in "vice64scini".

"but, VICE says nothing about it."
thats not completely true btw - errors are printed to stdout... however in windows they dont end up in the logfile (because its not opened at that point, i guess)
so?
what about this? it should be fixed now - please retest!
