case sensitive command line switches

[wahoo]

I am playing around with winVICE. There is a command line switch to double the screensize. It is "-VICIIdsize" and this is how I have it configured in the Advanced Configuration program. When GameEx launches it converts the commandline into lower case. winVICE command lines appear to be case sensitive and so it fails to launch. Is there any way GameEx could leave the case in the command line as is and not convert the case to lower case?

the runitgame.bat is written as

C:

CD "C:\Emulation\Computer\Commodore\WinVICE"

x64.exe -fullscreen -viciidsize +confirmexit -cartcrt "C:\Emulation\ROMS\Commodore - 64\Unzipped7-Zip\something.crt"

Here are the errors I am getting from winVICE about the command line

---------------------------

VICE Error!

---------------------------

Unknown option '-viciidsize'.

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

---------------------------

VICE Error!

---------------------------

Error parsing command-line options, bailing out. For help use '-help'

---------------------------

OK

---------------------------

Thanks!

Your bat file is typed in lowercase.

Your bat file is typed in lowercase.

I entered the command line with "-VICIIdsize" in the configuration. The runinit.bat was produced by GameEx not by me. Sorry for the confusion.

Just edit the vice.ini file to have that setting and then don't have to call for it from command-line.

VICIIDoubleSize=1

Good fix! I think GameEx should still send the command line as case sensitive if it's not though.

I just tested this myself and I see what you mean wahoo. The switches are changed to lowercase and since winVICE is case sensitive it creates a problem. I've never ran into this before as this is a rare occasion. Good find! Good thing to know! I suggest letting Tom know and see if he can fix it to avoid further issues. For the time being, using the alternative way with the vice.ini is the only fix as of now.

One other thing that *might* work is enclosing the command in quotes. I don't know if GameEx will set everything to lower case or just stuff outside of quotes. Either way, this is a bug that should be addressed!
