So not sure if this is something that is even possible, but my situation is my internal hard drive is tiny because I have a Mac running Windows on Boot Camp using Dolphin. I need to relocate the Dolphin Emulator folder from the C: Drive to my external HDD for things like HD Texture packs because they can take up a lot of space but I don't see an option to relocate in the config options.

Does this feature exist and I am just going crazy and can't find it or does it not exist yet?

Thanks for the help. Sorry if this is posted somewhere else and I couldn't find it.

If you create a file named portable.txt in the same folder as Dolphin.exe, the folder will be moved there.

Alternatively, if you only want to change the texture pack / resource pack folder, that is available under "paths". You are looking for "Load Path" and "Resource pack path"

Great link. I tried exactly this, since I always move any important folders like "Documents" to another larger drive on my computers. 

It says to make a registry key and make sure to "[color=#333333]Make sure that the "User" folder is explicitly specified, since Dolphin will assume whatever path it is directed to is the [/color][color=#333333]\User\[/color][color=#333333] folder."[/color]


[color=#333333]I tried E:\Documents\Dolphin Emulator - but still it won't load the HD textures for Paper Mario TTYD. [/color]


[color=#333333]Please help if you can. This is my favorite game of all time and I really, really, want to see it in HD. THANKS![/color]
