Can Wii games be launched by ID? - Mr. Mendelli - 11-07-2018
Like steam, can arguments be used to run a Wii game. An example would go along these lines:
Dolphin.exe R3ME01
Is this possible? If so, what syntax is required?

Not right now, because file names can be anything. It is possible to do so if somebody puts in the work to. There are a couple possible ways to support this, but no as of right now that is not possible.

Thanks for the info, I'm hoping to see something like this in the future. Perhaps something akin to how it can be done with Steam.

Launching with an ID is currently possible with Wii channels but not Wii discs. You'll have to supply the path to the file if you want to launch a disc game directly from the command line.
