Some emulators lack proper documentation and are extremely difficult to get up and running. This post is meant to elevate most of those problems. This guide will include steps on how to load roms via command line or the User Interface (UI) if the emulator does not support command lines. This guide will also indicate if certain functions within the emulator need to be enabled to play games as well as if the emulator requires bios files.
If anyone wants to offer assistance with this project, feel free to look over the To Do List below and post your findings here. I’ll update the 1st post when new information is discovered. Once everything has been updated and all items on the to do list are crossed off, I'll incorporate this into the help file.
--To Do List--Untested systems / emulators:• Atari 5200

• Figure out how to load dreamcast games with MESS v0.160 [2015-03-25]
• Figure out which game formats each emulator supports e.g. bin / iso / img / cdd / cue / mds / pbp / ecm / interleaved / deinterleaved / etc.
• Figure out which emulators require games to have headers
Emulator Compatibility:Blue Text = No special command lines are needed in addition to the rom path
Red Text = Games can be launched via command line but require additional command lines
Green Text = Games cannot be launched directly from command line, additional steps are required
Orange Text = Command line examples
