Command-line arguments

Mini Micro can be launched from the command line with certain command-line arguments to alter its default behavior.

Argument	Value	Effect	Example
-screen-fullscreen	0 or 1	start in full-screen mode	-screen-fullscreen 1
-scale	floating-point value	set screen scale to this factor	-scale 2
-usr	file path	mount given file or directory as /usr	-usr /Users/alice/myFiles
-usr2	file path	mount given file or directory as /usr2	-usr2 /Users/bob/game.minidisk

Usage Notes

On Mac, to use these arguments you have two possibilities:

1. Running the bundle executable directly
2. Opening the app bundle with open

1. Running the bundle executable directly

You cd inside the app bundle until you reach the executable, e.g. cd MiniMicro.app/Contents/MacOS.

Then you can launch the app like any Unix executable, e.g. ./Mini\ Micro -scale 3.

2. Opening the app bundle with open

You cd into the folder where the MiniMicro bundle is installed, e.g. cd /Applications.

Then you can launch the app with the open command, passing arguments with `args`, e.g. open -a MiniMicro.app --args -scale 3.
