MacOS CLI support: Is it possible to launch a .XEX file from the command line?

[anarchydev]

Hello,

First of all, thank you for Fujisan — great project 👍

I’m using the macOS version and I would like to know if it is possible to launch a .xex file directly from the terminal, for example:

Fujisan myprogram.xex

or

open -a Fujisan myprogram.xex

Currently, the emulator starts but ignores the file argument.

Is there:

any documented command-line option (e.g. --load, --run, etc.)?

hidden CLI support?

My goal is to integrate Fujisan into a workflow where I can quickly run Atari 8-bit programs from the command line.

Thank you!

HI @anarchydev , thanks for using Fujisan! It really makes me happy.

With Fujisan I am trying some different approach so instead of starting it with a parameter like you mention, I use a TCP server to receive commands while Fujisan is running. My objective is for an external application or script to be able to do lots of different things while Fujisan is always running.

So for that, check the "TCP Server API" document here: https://github.com/pedgarcia/fujisan/blob/main/docs/TCP_SERVER_API.md and particularly the command "media.load_xex" which is what you want.

Since you are using macOS, the commands in the docs should work via terminal for tests or via any shell script. You can also use cURL if you are familiar with it.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Thanks

Paulo
