i don't use n64 emulators...

if there is one that can be run from the commandline then most fe's will work

another option that could work with any fe is using hc;s generic wrapper and use thst with project 64. you use the wrapper to navigate through the menu's with virual keystrokes. a pain to setup but only one person has to di it once and then the setup could be shared on hc's site...

project 64 lets you pass rom names via the command line, but you'll still have to use the command line wrapper as it won't exit with escape.

I don't know about Galaxian, but you don't have to use the wrapper in MAMEWAH if you use the Front-end Friendly hacked version of Project 64 available on stuzza's site. It basically just lets allows you to quit upon hitting escape.

I'd imagine if it works in MAMEWAH through the command line, then it should in Galaxian as well. Give it a try, can't hurt.
