INI Config File for DOL File?

Titan91 · 12-12-2013, 08:38 AM #1

I'm running a game from a directory by opening it's DOL file, and need to get access to an INI config file for it (specifically Gecko codes to speed up testing a level editor). Is it possible for DOL files to have an associated INI file like a game running from a disc image? Or make DOL files appear in the list of games so I can right click it and edit stuff that way?

The answer is "No" to both of these questions. We do get this request every so often, but the function is not used often enough for someone to implement it. The general problem is that the dol/elf does not have a gameid to grab the ini from.

I see. That's fine, I'll just use Wiiscrubber.

I'm not sure, but RachelB stated that adding the Game INI entries that you want to Dolphin.ini will make it be used with any .DOL/.ELF file loaded by Dolphin. At least when using DVD Root + Apploader and then booting the .dol worked (and no, it won't read the game INI if booted like that)...

That works for a few settings that can't be set via gui (Such as ztp hack, and sync gpu), but not for gecko codes.
