Can't change button layouts (reverts to default)

[4zrael]

Hello, I just downloaded Dolphin 3.5 x64, and am trying to run Zelda: TP for the 'Cube. The game seems to run fine, but I seem to be having issues with Dolphin itself, it won't save any of my button maps.

I am currently trying to play using a PSX to USB adapter (and thus an old PSX controller, the pre-dualshock model with joysticks.. ^^). I have GC tab port 1 set to standard controller, and direct input USB selected for the device. When attempting to map, it detects all of the inputs just fine, but upon OKing / closing, the mapping reverts to the default keyboard layout. Attempting to 'save' a button map seems to yield no results at all (can't see it in the drop down list, load button does nothing). As it seems, I can't even change my keyboard layout, for the same reasons. Any ideas? I'd post a screenshot, but the layout isn't the issue - it's that it won't stick.

I've managed to temporarily get by using Xpadder, but this means running in 8 directions only, no walking, and fickle camera control. :<

Thanks in advance!

Have you installed Dolphin in C:/Program Files/etc?
If so, this may happen because you don't have write rights to that directory. You can run Dolphin as admin, get write access to that directory or move Dolphin to another directory (desktop, anywhere except Program Files and Windows obviously) or move Dolphin to a different hard drive entirely.

*facepalm* Yes, yes I DID install to Program files.. ^^

I haven't actually tried to test this yet, but that is quite probably the problem, thank you so much! Will post an edit if this doesn't fix it for some reason.
