I have some Saturn games in .bin/.cue format. If I open BizHawk and drag one of the .cue file into the window, the game runs fine. But if I try to load any of the .cue from the command line, I get the following error: 
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.DisplayManager.CalculateClientSize(IVideoProvider videoProvider, Int32 zoom)
   at BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.MainForm.FrameBufferResized()
   at BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.MainForm.SetStatusBar()
   at BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.MainForm..ctor(String[] args)
   at BizHawk.Client.EmuHawk.Program.SubMain(String[] args)
I load games from the command line all the time, including Sega CD, PCE-CD, and other .bin/.cue games, and it works great. I only get this error when trying to load Saturn games from the command line. Any ideas? Thanks!

That really sounds like something that was fixed fairly recently. Are you sure you are using the latest version of BizHawk? (2.2.1 as of writing this post)
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

Wow, I feel silly now. I was on 2.2, and grabbing 2.2.1 indeed fixes the issue. Thanks!
