Launching rom from a distant folder (with command line)

Hi,
I've done some quick test, and it appears that I can't launch (with command line) a rom located on a "distant" folder without declaring that folder in "mame.ini" before!?
mame.exe "D:\Downloads\EMULATION\MAME v145 ROMS\005.zip"
wouldn't run if it hasn't been declared in "mame.ini" file before:
rompath roms;D:\Downloads\EMULATION\MAME v145 ROMS
Is that correct?
You really can't "give" a rom to mame coming from anywhere on your disk if you haven't declared that folder before?
(I ask because you can do it with any other emulator!)
Thanks!!

The correct way would be:
mame.exe -rp "D:\Downloads\EMULATION\MAME v145 ROMS" 005
-rp is short for -rompath.
You may want to read .\docs\config.txt
