core autodetection when started from the cmdline

[eadmaster]

When retroarch is started from the commandline with a ROM file passed as argument is it possible to have the correct core auto-selected?
(like when using "Load Content (Detect Core)" in the RGUI)

What if there's more than one usable core?

[eadmaster]

in this case the GUI is started and the core selection dialog is shown (the same when you select "Load Content (Detect Core)").

Any update on this?

[andres-asm]

its's a feature request, doesn't mean it's gonna be implemented

Yeah, I was just curious.

The problem is whenever I looked into some quick old school gaming fun in the last 15 years or so I ended up loosing all my precious time by tinkering with obscure settings and reading hundreds of forum posts before ever starting a game.

So it was just a short glimmer of hope...
