I'm not sure if this is expected behavior or not, but I find is somewhat interesting and I'm not sure why Dolphin 5.0 (stable release) does this. I installed Dolphin 5.0 and made it portable by creating the "portable.txt" file in the same directory as the Dolphin.exe file. As I understood it, this was all I needed to do in order to make Dolphin completely portable. When I started up Dolphin, it created the "User" directory in the same directory as the Dolphin.exe file (as expected) and it can run games and do everything normally. However, to my surprise, I noticed that this portable version of Dolphin still creates the "Dolphin Emulator" directory in the "Documents" folder under "C:\Users\[Username]\Documents". Since Dolphin was supposed to be portable, this bamboozled me. I deleted the directory and started up Dolphin again, and the directory was created once again, and this problem persists every single time I open up Dolphin. When checking what's in the directory, I find this:
"C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\shared2\sys"
In this directory is a single, extensionless file titled "SYSCONF." I have no idea what it does, but if it's important I'm somewhat concerned that it isn't being placed in the "User" directory like the rest of the files. This is a portable version of Dolphin, after all, and I don't know why Dolphin is still placing stuff in the Documents folder.
Is this a bug? Is this expected behavior? Is that particular file important if I want to keep all of my game saves / Dolphin settings / Wii Menu settings / etc. if I end up moving the portable Dolphin Emulator folder to another computer (and therefore losing whatever Dolphin puts in the documents folder)? What should I do?
