command line options

So I'm building an arcade and using Mame, nestopia, n64, and snes9x.  Are their common cli arguments to set stuff for full screen and make them big box friendly?  Launch box suggest the emulator, but wish it had some cli examples that are common to use.

In most cases the most common command line parameters are auto populated but of course there are so many emulators there may be some missing. Also depending on the emulator it may just be a setting in the emulator itself and not have a command line parameter.

Snes9x uses the command line parameter:  -fullscreen

Mame also uses:  -fullscreen if I remember correctly but I just set mine to load fullscreen in the mame.ini file.

Nestopia will load fullscreen if you press alt+enter to put it in fullscreen first and then just close it out with alt+f4 or your controller combo you set in Launchbox if using the premium version. It will remember that it was fullscreen the next time you load it. I just tested this to make sure since I don't use Nestopia other than testing purposes like for posts like this :)

If you have any specific emulator questions and fullscreen feel free to ask and we will do what we can to get you the answers you need but keep in mind it can be on a per emulator basis and even version difference can change how and emulator can be loaded in fullscreen mode, Higan is a perfect example of this. We do have some workarounds for it though if required.
