Unable to use --saveoptions in Windows build

[GoogleCodeExporter]

AMD Athlon XP 2200+
32-bit Windows XP SP2
Mupen64Plus version 1.99.4
Plugins used: all included plugins

Describe the problem:
Running mupen64 with the --saveoptions command line option does not save a 
configuration file.

If I run it as such:
mupen64plus-ui-console.exe --resolution 800x600 --gfx 
mupen64plus-video-rice.dll --audio mupen64plus-audio-sdl.dll --input 
mupen64plus-input-sdl.dll --rsp mupen64plus-rsp-hle.dll --saveoptions 
"C:\games\nintendo64\games\Mario Golf.v64"

and then next time just run
mupen64plus-ui-console.exe "C:\games\nintendo64\games\Mario Golf.v64"

it has no configuration information for anything, and as such uses dummy 
plugins for everything.

Hi!
Did the resolution is saved? Or it cameback to default resolution? (If that, 
maybe a permission prob with the configuration file but it seems unlikely).

I'd just test and it work for me.

What do you mean by:

"it has no configuration information for anything, and as such uses dummy 
plugins for everything."

Don't know if I'd well understand you but the --saveoptions flag force to save 
the mupen64plus.cfg file (see FileLocations).

Once this file is saved, you can open it (with for exemple notepad++) and edit 
it to modify options.

Hmm.

>"it has no configuration information for anything, and as such uses dummy

Originally I thought it was not saving the cfg file, as it would load without 
reading the cfg file. I checked the "FileLocations" section you mentioned, and 
there is indeed a configuration file.  I think it's making a fool of me.  

I tried loading a game again, and through the command line it seems to load 
fine.  It also seems to load fine when I run it in a batch file.  It does not 
work if I drag the rom on to the executable, but then again, I'm not sure if 
this should work anyway.  If dragging the rom is not technically a problem, 
then you may remove this "bug".

I'm not sure if this should work anyway. << I'm not sure the console was 
suppose to load a rom just drag and drop it because doing that it can't find 
the good "working directory" (in wich it search plugins). It search in the 
directory of you're rom...

A solution is create a shortcut, put it where you whant, and drag and drop on 
it. :)
