I don't know anything about nulldc.

But yes you would have to use a command line argument...if you can "craft it" in the command line and run it..you should be able to get am to work with it.

Please post an example of a working command line argument (and I mean the FULL line) and I'll see if I can piece it together for you to make it work. I had to work with daphne to make it work right too.

THANKS HERE IS A BATCH THAT WILL START A CDI IMAGE IN NULLDC,  AS LONG AS THEIR IN THE SAME FOLDER FROM ANYWHERE
---------------------------------
@echo off
cd %~dp0
nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace.exe ^
-config nullDC:Emulator.Autostart=1 ^
-config ImageReader:LoadDefaultImage=1 ^
-config ImageReader:DefaultImage="Cannon.Spike-RDC.cdi"
---------------------------------

Maybe this will help you?
If i fine out how i will post it....thanks for your help.

right now im using  Launchbox on my 83 centipede cab and it is great....
but i love how you can mess with the grafix w/ AM  just like i did alot w/ maximus arcade.   soom i will be updating
the cab but i need to get all the emu working especially this one

>config your emulator-system like this in AM:

Code: [Select]

executable           C:\attract\EMU\dreamcast\nullDC_Win32_Release-NoTrace.exe
args                 -config nullDC:Emulator.Autostart=1 -config ImageReader:LoadDefaultImage=1 -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="[romfilename]"
rompath              C:\attract\EMU\dreamcast\roms
romext               .cdi
>Your batch-file:
Of course you have to enter the path to your games too
from : -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="Cannon.Spike-RDC.cdi"
to : -config ImageReader:DefaultImage="C:\myDreamcastGamesFolder\Whatever\Cannon.Spike-RDC.cdi"

>Offtopic in batch programming:
Instead of writing one command line in batch, you can enter a kind of line break with ^-character (so it's better arranged and easier to read).
both works of course:

ping 127.0.0.1 -t

ping ^
127.0.0.1 ^
-t

%~dp0 tells the path, that you've started the batch/.bat-file
