Load ROM via command line missing in documentation
My goal is to be able to launch arbitrary TI-99 games from my game launcher. Though using app mode is one way to launch directly to a game, it requires a lot of work when considering many games (copying the .exe, custom .ini, hand-coding the filesizes, etc.).
It would be great to allow Classic99 to load a cart simply by providing a path to the first file as an argument when launching. I'd imagine the same logic for finding multiple "parts" using the filename ("part 1 of n") when adding user carts via UI could apply.
Example:
classic99.exe "path\to\Cart (Part 1 of 2).G"
The above would allow dragging a cart file onto the .exe file in Windows. However, if command line options were expanded I could see requiring a prefix, maybe even integrating the auto-select functionality from app mode.
If there already is a way to do this, I wasn't able to find it in the docs. Thanks!
Yeah, seems like it's not in the manual. Command line is: classic99.exe -rom "path\to\rom.bin"
Rules for ROM identification are the same as using Cartridge->User->Open (xxxxxC.BIN, for instance, Classic99 will automatically seek out all like-named files and load them in).

That's great, thanks for the info! Updating issue title to refer to the documentation omission.
