Launch Parameters on Linux aarch64 build

[Zekrom2378]

I am trying to load the emulator on a very lightweight system, I have possibly gotten it to open, but I do not see the melonDS logo, and I do not know what kind of parameters I would need to use when launching the executable to run a specified ROM automatically.

Thank you RSDuck, I was able to get the emulator up and running. The only thing I am unsure about with it as of now, is I am unsure how to automatically load a ROM. Could you write an example line? The current one I have right now is not auto-loading the ROM on emulator boot.

/home/user/melonDS/build/melonDS -f -a /home/user/melonDS/Rom_Name.nds

The ROM file is the path in the command line.

[RSDuck]

The -a option is meant for files inside archives (zip files etc.). For the simpler case just pass the path to the DS file without any flag:

/home/user/melonDS/build/melonDS -f /home/user/melonDS/Rom_Name.nds

When I do that, the emulator just shows its home screen with the melonDS logo. It does not pop up with the error of "This ROM cannot be found" if the filepath is correct, but it still does not load up the game.
