Starting a FDS game from commandline semi-hangs the emulator

Hi!

So I decided to give puNES a well deserved update since June this summer and updated to WIP 0.110 r1938 and immediately noticed something was wrong in terms of loading a FDS game via commandline.

Long story short, I have made custom commandline launchers for all the systems I emulate which requires me just to input a number which corresponds to something like this: If 14 then "C:\Games\Video Games\Consoles\Famicom Disk System\punes_p.exe" "C:\Games\Video Games\Games\Famicom Disk System\Zelda No Densetsu - The Hyrule Fantasy (Japan).fds"

Nothing fancy but saves me a great deal of time whenever I want to play something.

Anyway, when I start the game from within puNES itself the game loads immediately as it should, however if I were to start the game from my launcher the game "starts" as you can hear the sound and all but the screen is frozen in a white screen with a Windows loading circle like the program is not responding.

If I wait "patiently" the screen is showing the game roughly in about 1,5-2 minutes whereas the game loads correctly if started from puNES directly.

Also, regular Famicom/NES games is unaffected and works properly both from my launcher and in puNES directly, only FDS games is affected.

puNES WIP 0.109 r1912 (2022-11-19) works perfectly with commandline

puNES WIP 0.109 r1926 (2022-12-02) works perfectly with commandline

punNES WIP 0.109 r1932 (2022-12-14) crashes the emulator immediately when loaded from commandline and shows nothing

My best guess is that something happened between r1926 and r1938 in terms of commandline loading especially for FDS games.

Actually, I've changed a few things under the hood, and even if I've done several tests, I may have missed something. Many thx for the report.
