So I have a few PAL and Japan ISOs and Dolphin runs them just fine, but it skips over the BIOS and goes straight to the game. I have "Skip BIOS" unchecked and the IPL for each region, and changing the system language does nothing, so what do I need to do? I ask this since I want to dump their memory card icon/banner textures and obviously I can't save those to the USA memory card, but switching it out for a JP/EU memory card prevents Dolphin from running since it doesn't match the system's region.

Are you using Dolphin 5.0 stable, or the latest dev build?

Never mind, Dolphin is stupid and reads everything from the 'My Documents' folder even though it's installed on an external drive.

Everything works now, though I don't have Japan as a selectable region.

EDIT: Never mind, now the BIOS doesn't even work at all.

Okay, so I checked the Dolphin folder in My Documents, and apparently IPL.bin was missing. I copy-pasted it back and now it works.

There really needs to be an easier way to change where Dolphin reads everything from.

If you want dolphin to read from the same location that it is in, you can try creating a file named "portable.txt" in the same location as your dolphin executable.
