This program didn't work for me at first. I was trying to find a command line loader for pcsx2 0.9.7 (r3119) so I could use it with Maximus Arcade. I was testing it with the "Run" dialog within windows vista (x64). I kept getting a black screen and a few "windows error dings" using the proper commands. After reading your last code snippet I noticed that you indicate the file as "pcsx2-r3113.exe" but the file I have downloaded from the pcsx2 website is named simply "pcsx2.exe". Renaming the file in my pcsx2 directory from pcsx2.exe to pcsx2-r3113.exe fixed the issue and now the loader works from a run command or Maximus Arcade (or probably any front end loader for that matter"... Thanks a lot for this, I've been searching everywhere for a solution and I'm too impatient to wait for the next release of pcsx2 with command line support. Much appreciated! Side note: full screen does not work for me, with either version. I understand that this was intended for GameEx and as such I'll live with it. The new pcsx2 is supposed to have fullscreen boot fixed. Also, esc works perfectly, exiting the program and returning me to my front end. I love it!
