Description
hi
I found you can load a specifc core, game rom and cfg file from the command line in windows (passing to retroarch).
I was wondering if it's possible to load a game rom and a specific overlay file for that game (copied in overlays folder of retroarch) on the command line and if yes, how to do this?
thx

Research direction
Start by reviewing RetroArch's command-line option handling and how overlay files are located in the overlays folder. Determine whether a game ROM and a specific overlay can be selected together from the command line, then document the supported invocation or clearly state the limitation.
