savable custom configuration for every game

[Crys]

Hey every1,

I've had an idea recently how to make the dolphin configuration a bit easier. If some1 had this idea before and posted it already or if it was implemented in some dolphin svn before I'm sorry, but i couldnt find anything similiar in this forum.

Usually u have to change some settings whenever u select a different game. I know there are some custom setting possibilites in the game properties, but there should be much more customisation for every game. I suggest that u should be able to customize every important setting for every game and be able to save it in a .ini file f.e. I'm talking about graphic plugin and all settings in it, sound plugin, resolution (cause u can play games which are running smoothly with higher resolution like NSMB), prefered game controler device (when more are available), maybe language, etc. When u upgrade dolphin to a newer rev, u just have to copy all your .ini files to the new directory, like u do it with the save files, so u dont have to to config over and over again.

the .ini file should be an easy structured file which could look like this:

dx11 plugin 0
dx9 plugin 1
enable cpu access 0
...

What do u think?

Agreeing with the OP here.

I can play some games at 1080p with a buttload of visual enhancements and there are others that need some different settings beyond what the "Game Properties" option offers. (Such as changing the EFB scale, Anti Aliasing, Widescreen hack, and Resolution settings)

There is already such a capability in the latest builds for the graphics options to be saved per game.

Well, shit. I've been using Lectrode's 6916 build for too long then.

Are you sure about that? I can only setup custom settings for "graphics" and not for DSP or Config settings. Using r7468 x64.

I think that it was only GFX configurations that can be saved for each game what Link_To_The_Past meant because the other things you mention DSP and other configurations ain't possible.
At least from what I have seen.

Not all of it, but most of it. HLE/LLE, dual core, and idle skipping just to name a few are all selectable per game.

That's great, this is something I love with Dolphin nowadays.
Everything is so logical and easy to configure.
