Hello everyone!
The problem I'm facing is simply that I wish to add a custom controller configuration for a standard controller (game cube). From what I've gathered on online forums is that I should place the config file in /path/to/dolphin-emu/Config/Profiles/GCPad/config.file so that's where I placed the "desired_config.ini" file (which in my case is /home/my_name/.local/share/dolphin-emu/Config/Profiles/GCPad/config.file). When I opened Dolphin however, the emulator seemed to fail to find the file however and there are no options in the drop-down list for loading configs (i went to options > controller settings and chose standard controller under gamecube controllers and clicked configure).
So I tried to create a new configuration in dolphin, find the location of that file and then drop my config file there as well. So I created a new controller config (which I named "test_config") in dolphin. I can't find the location of that file however, so now I'm at a loss for how to proceed. It seems like a simple problem which is even more frustrating.
Any ideas on how to proceed? I apologize if I've covered a already discussed topic and would, in that case, appreciate being pointed in the right direction. Thanks!
I'm running the latest version of dolphin as described here: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Installing_Dolphin i.e. I ran the following commands:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dolphin-emu/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install dolphin-emu
