Manual: Command-line Parameters

In addition to specifying any number of module files to open, the following command-line parameters can be specified when launching OpenMPT:

• /debugCrashHandler: Allow debugging OpenMPT's own crash handler by not installing it globally as an unhandled exception filter but instead install it explicitly only for the main GUI thread using __try blocks. This disables the crash handler for non-GUI threads.
• /fullMemDump: If OpenMPT crashes, it creates a full memory dump instead of just a stack dump.
• /noCrashHandler: OpenMPT will not install its own crash handler and instead have the system default handler display any crash messages. Among other things, this means that modified modules will not be rescued in case of a crash. This option should only be used when told to do so by the OpenMPT developers.
• /noLogo: Suppresses the OpenMPT logo on startup.
• /noDLS: OpenMPT will not load any DLS or SF2 soundfonts during startup.
• /noAssembly: All MMX/SSE/3DNow!-accelerated routines are disabled.
• /noPlugs: OpenMPT will not load any plugins.
• /noSysCheck: Skips the check on startup that verifies that the current system (i.e. processor features and Windows version) is capable of running the current OpenMPT build variant.
• /noWine: Disable all Wine detection and work-arounds for problems when running OpenMPT on Wine. Caution: Specifying /noWine may result in OpenMPT not behaving as intended. Only use when told to do so by the OpenMPT developers.
• /play: Immediately starts playing one of the module file passed as a parameter.
• /portable: Portable mode is enforced.
• /shared: Passes the specified module files to an existing OpenMPT instance rather than launching a new instance.
