EACA EG2000 Colour Genie

[link182]

Good morning, I would like to know if anyone kindly knows the parameters of the command line to automatically start the games of this platform. Thank you all in advance

Default Command-Line Parameters
cgenie -cass

Some tapes use CLOAD to load and others use SYSTEM. The MAME cgenie_cass.xml file can help you out here.

For CLOAD tapes:
At the MEM SIZE prompt just press Return.
At the COLOUR BASIC READY prompt type CLOAD and press Return.
Start the tape. When the tape finishes playing, type RUN at the prompt and press Return.

SYSTEM tapes are not as straightforward:
At the MEM SIZE prompt just press Return.
At the COLOUR BASIC READY prompt type SYSTEM and press Return.
A new prompt *? will appear and what you type here depends on the game.
For example, the game Astronaut requires you to type ASTRO and press Return, then play the tape.

You can, of course, automate things a bit.
For the CLOAD tapes you can set Default Command-Line Parameters.
cgenie -ab \n\nCLOAD\n -autoboot_delay 1 -cass

For the SYSTEM tapes the parameters vary, and custom parameters per-game can be set.
For the game Astronaut.
cgenie -ab \n\nSYSTEM\nASTRO\n -autoboot_delay 1 -cass
