User Handbook - Command Line

There are two main applications, an SDL-based app (eden-cli) and a Qt based app (eden); both accept command line arguments and share almost the same accepted arguments.

eden

• ./eden <path>: Running with a single argument and nothing else, will make the emulator look for the given file and load it, this behaviour is similar to eden-cli; allows dragging and dropping games into the application.
• --hlaunch: Launch homebrew launcher nx-hbloader.
  • Requires a copy of Atmosphere to be extracted onto sdmc.
  • This is a shorthand for <eden folder>/sdmc/atmosphere/hbl.nsp.
• --setup: Launch setup applet.
• -q/--qlaunch: Launch QLaunch.
• -d/--debug: Enter debug mode, allow gdb stub at port 1234
• -c/--config: Specify alternate configuration file.
• -f/--fullscreen: Set fullscreen.
• -h/--help: Display help.
• -g/--game: Alternate way to specify what to load, overrides. However let it be noted that arguments that use - will be treated as options/ignored, if your game, for some reason, starts with -, in order to safely handle it you may need to specify it as an argument.
• -m/--multiplayer: Specify multiplayer options.
• -p/--program: Specify the program arguments to pass (optional).
• -u/--user: Select the index of the user to load as.
• -v/--version: Display version and quit.
• -i/--input-profile: Specifies input profile name to use (for player #0 only).
• -n/--null-render: Forces the usage of the "Null" render backend irrespective of settings.
• -x/--filter: Sets the debug log filter irrespective of settings.
• -s/--singlecore: Forces single-core regardless of settings.
• -l/--log-file: The file for storing the room log.
• -H/--headless: Force headless mode (no GUI). Currently only used for rooms.

Room settings:

• -N/--name: The name of the room.
• -D/--description: The room description.
• -S/--bind-address: The bind address for the room.
• -P/--port: The port used for the room.
• -M/--max-members: The maximum number of players for this room.
• -W/--password: The password for the room.
• -G/--preferred-game: The preferred game for this room.
• -I/--preferred-game-id: The preferred game-id for this room.
• -U/--username: The username used for announce.
• -T/--token: The token used for announce.
• -A/--web-api-url: yuzu Web API url.
• -B/--ban-list-file: The file for storing the room ban list.
• -h/--help: Display this help and exit.
• -v/--version: Output version information and exit.,

If the name and description of the room is specified, then it will default to headless mode if not already specified.

Old settings -hlaunch, -qlaunch and -setup are recognized independently. They're kept for backwards compatibility with shortcuts made before the change. Using one of these makes the parser immediately halt and ignore every other option.
