After looking at some of the recent changes, 3.5-2388 in which if you add a "portable" text file to the directory it will make Dolphin truly portable again, if it works how I think it will (the old behavior basically without needing to add a registry setting) then I have no qualms over this. Correct me if I'm wrong.
That's wrong. Dolphin looks to the registry first. If it doesn't see a registry key it uses the default global user directory path, if it sees LocalUserConfig it uses the directory the build is in, and if it sees UserConfigPath it uses the path indicated there.
Looking at the contents of a local file to determine what to do? That's the old method exactly. I used this to make a "global user directory" for a year before this change. While people could make a global user directory with it they usually didn't, and this lead to infrequent updates to reduce the hassle of moving saves and settings. That's what this is for. It is now much easier to update, so hopefully people will do it more often.

Oh... whoops. So that's what he meant. I'll make sure I add it to the guide.

I would like to report that game configs are no longer being saved. I'm trying to disable the following in specific games.
[Video_Settings] UseXFB = True UseRealXFB = True In Gamecube games, but they simply are not saving in the game.ini, in fact, there is no game.ini is there? Whenever I edit a game config text file, Dolphin tells me it doesn't exist and asks to make one for the game I'm editing, so I make one, but it doesn't take effect. Is this due to how the global user directory is being handled? Is this a bug?
