[hatari-devel] Re: Feature request: allow to specify "-d" with autostart

[Miro Kropáček <miro.kropacek@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, after RTFM I've realised the feature is actually there. Thanks --gemdos-drive and --acsi!

And while are we at it, why limit it to "-d" (i.e. gemdos drive), having this with any (ascsi, ide) disk image supplied would be pretty cool although in that case one would need to count the number of partitions to guess the proper letter for the supplied command line path.

Now as I think about it, perhaps this is the only way as GEMDOS HD can't have more than one letter (partition) assigned?

Hi,

this is somehow related to my previous email. It would be cool if one could other boot drive in case "directory | Atari program" is given..

The reason is simple, imagine you have a folder for common setup (NVDI, some ACCs etc) and you'd like to run the Atari program in that environment automatically.

Same for "directory", sometimes it's nice to boot into given folder with some preset environment (esp. when testing various binaries).

Basically, only thing needed is to change drive in {desktop,newdesk,emudesk}.inf from C:\ to D:\ if "-d" is given as C:. It's totally fine if this fails in case such inf file already exists on C:.
