Failed to write BT.DINF to SYSCONF

[TheClues]

Hi,

Games are not loading for me - I am constantly getting 3 errors in this order:

1) Failed to write BT.DINF to SYSCONF
2) SetupWiiMemory: Can't create setting.txt file
3) Fifo shutting down while active

I suspect it's something to do with Dolphin not being able to write to the c:\users\myname\documents\dolphin emulator folder. No files are ever created in any of the folders in there, no matter if I choose a default ISO location, set a controller config or bespoke game config etc.

I'm running Dolphin in administrator mode, and I've kept trying to untick that dolphin emulator folder from being "read only" but it defaults back to "Read Only (Only applies to files in folder)

Anyone hit this issue / know the solution?

Thanks

Managed to solve this - so posting in case anyone else hits the problem. I am using Bitdefender, and it was blocking the Dolphin App from saving anything into that folder. 


The component to change in Bitdefender is "Safe Files" - You need to tick the Dolphin.exe application to "Allowed" under Application Access.


Once done - all works fine.

Made an account to say that this did the trick for me. Other fixes found via Google didn't work, it was as simple as allowing the program in BitDefender's Safe Files - Application Access.

Cheers!
