Just to clarify, when dealing with systems that have multiple softlists, it is wise to specify -cart for softlist items as well (or -cass or -flop, if you are emulating an home computer) In this way you have full control of which game it will be loaded ![](//www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif)
so that if you want to run an arcade machine or a system with no game loaded you run
> mame puckman > mame c64 > mame saturn
if you want to run an home system with a software inserted, via softlist, you run
> mame nes -cart megaman3 > mame c64 -flop1 basil > mame saturn -cdrm nights
if you want to run the same via fullpath, you run
> mame nes -cart "my_software/Mega Man 3 (US).nes" > mame c64 -flop1 "my_software/c64/Basil the Great Detective.g64" > mame saturn -cdrm "my_software/nights into dream.chd"
of course the file could be zipped or 7zipped...
