Took me long enough, but here you go. textures toggle.

I have a question about that. Maybe it's impossible to do. I always prefetch textures to RAM. Would it be possible with this toggle (or the normal toggle) to maintain the custom  textures in RAM to make quick switches instead of having to load again? It would be a bad idea if you are adding or modifying textures while playing, but for just playing it would be great for quick comparisons.

Awesome, I was waiting for this. Looks really great and useful for texture modders. A quick question through, does it also support toggling between "Dump Textures"? Turning on "Load Custom Textures" while "Dump Textures" is active causes all the present (both replaced and unreplaced) textures to be dumped, when normally I only want the textures dumped which are not replaced yet.

..so from now I should see "toggle textures" in the hotkeys options, correct?
I must be blind, but I cant see this Or maybe I should delete my documents folder with old settings 1st?

The change is not active yet on the latest master. It might take a few days before it is added to master. Or it could be longer. The team has to verify every addition before it is added to the master build.

It is a PR (pull request, basically a proposed change to the codebase), so you won't see this in the official dev builds before it is merged. You can however use the PR build to try it (I assume you're using Windows).

I'm not sure, (and please correct me if I'm wrong) but it looks like it would behave the same as toggling "load custom textures" manually from the graphics settings.

Toggling dump textures is not supported in this PR

It works like a charm!
Thank you thank you thank you!

Would it be possible to include an "override aspect ratio" option to the properties menu for individual games?
It'd be a nice feature to have for widescreen gamecube games that dolphin doesn't auto-detect the resolution for (like TY).

Recently learned that Dolphin can play with Wii via the custom servers. (wiimfii? something like that)

But it got me thinking, what if you could hook a Wii into a PC and use it to play Netplay with Dolphin/other Wiis? Wii online isn't super great on some games (like SSBB) and emulating a local player means more options and more games that can use online.

I found this during my search: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2tU7V6nkA4 and it gives me some hope.
