Try what? Star Ocean with the latest DrNokSnes update? That's what I have done and it does start up. But it will not get past the part where it shows all companies involved (Enix, Tri-Ace etc).

It's the exact same thing that happens with "Illusion of Gaia" as well (can anyone confirm this, so I know that I didn't just get a bad copy?).

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean with 'specially from command line ("drnoksns your_rom_file")'. Which might be because I don not have confidence enough in my "command prompt skills" to mess around with it. If I didn't just misunderstand you, then maybe you can guide me through what you meant and tell me how to do it?
