Summary: Wii: SCUMMVM crashes when called with command line arguments

Initial Comment:
I have tried many builds of scummvm wii and I cannot get any of them to accept command line arguments (if it is even possible). I have tried using wiiload to send the boot.elf from my pc to wii homebrew channel with various command line switches such as:

-v
-p <path to one of my games>
--help

Also I have created a small wii program that will call other ELF/DOL progs with command line parameters and that won't work either.  Every method I try results in a code dump or and error in memory cpp file.  The only thing that was a little different was when I tried:-

wiiload <scummvm.ELF> -p

and left the path blank.  I got a message that the path could not be found.  So I am assuming that some command line arguments are working or at least they have been in the past.

I am trying to make channels that will automatically load a particular game and the last save position for that game.  I know this is possible on the PC versoion of Scummvm but what about the wii?

I took a look at the code and tried to compile the wii version with no alteration and got lots of errors about my compile environment, which is strange because I can compile the pc version fine and I have followed both compile guides to the letter.  Would it be possible for someone to compile me a version to accept command line arguments or at least give me some tips or instructions to do it myself.  

I had a thought that if command line arguments are screwing with wii version because of memory problems on the wii's low spec.  Would it be possible to make a build with less features i.e The GUI to free up memory.
