Comment:

 The nightly Windows builds are compiled by buildbot as a GUI application
 as opposed to a console application. If you're familiar with Windows
 Portable Executables, it's a flag in the PE header.

 The command line parameters are not being ignored, it's just that the ones
 you tried only print to stdout, and GUI applications have no console to
 display that output. For example, if you use command line parameters to
 run a particular game, you will find that those work. It's just like
 running "notepad.exe c:\myfile.txt" from a command line.

 If you want a console application of the latest version then you can get
 that from rootfather's server at https://scummvm.serra.me/ which updates
 every 15 minutes from master. (Or compile it yourself)
