The --system flag does not work on macOS

Hi!

I'm trying to add ares support to ES-DE (https://es-de.org) and it works fine on Unix/Linux and Windows but on macOS I can't use the --system option. It seems as if ares mixes up this flag with the ROM name.

Here's an example command:

/Applications/ares.app/Contents/MacOS/ares --fullscreen --system "Mega 32X" /Users/myusername/ROMs/sega32x/Knuckles\ Chaotix\ \(A\)\ \[\!\].zip

This presents an error dialog window stating that the filename is "Mega 32X" and that it could not determine what type of game file it is.

So the equivalent command on Linux works fine: /var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/dev.ares.ares --fullscreen --system "Mega 32X" /home/myusername/ROMs/sega32x/Knuckles\ Chaotix\ \(A\)\ \[\!\].zip

And the following on Windows also works correctly: C:\games\ares\ares.exe --fullscreen --system "Mega 32X" "C:\Users\Myusername\ROMs\sega32xjp\Knuckles Chaotix (A) [!].zip"
