Unable to load rom directly from terminal (MAC)

Hi,
I would like to use snes9x with XBMC (a media player, that allows to launch roms directly by command line) but I'm unable to launch a game with that command line in terminal :
Code: Select all
/Applications/Snes9x.app/Contents/MacOS/Snes9x /path/game.smc
Snes9x is launched but rom isn't loaded.
Did I miss something?
Is it a bug?
I'm on MAC OSX Lion 10.7.3
I'm able to launch roms if I use the menu from snes9x
Hope you can help me,
Thanks

Is the space in that path intentional?

Snes9x for Mac doesn't support command-line options.
To open a ROM from the Terminal, use 'open' command instead.

What part of "doesn't support command line options" do you not understand?

easy there, big guy. i think he's asking for clarification on this:

try:
Code: Select all
open -a /Applications/Snes9x.app /path/game.smc
if that doesn't work, you'll need to
to view the documentation for open or wait for zones's reply. (i don't have access to a mac, and the most recent man pages on developer.apple.com are for 10.6.6).
