I use Steam to launch my Dolphin games, but each installation of Dolphin reads any changes I made the previous play. Is there a way to force Dolphin to read a settings file in its own directory, thanks,

Yeh, create an empty text file in the Dolphin folder named portable.txt

Just use game inis to set the right settings for each game. https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-unofficial-howto-using-gameini-settings-per-game

Thanks for the tips guys, I haven't opened the link yet, but the inins thing wouldn't work in my case because I need to make copies in order to add each game to Steam to get the overlay. Is it really that simple for the portable.txt thing?, an empty text file?
