I'm using portable Dolphin, so no registry, and symlinks seems like a something very dirty to do for such a trivial thing (code-wise), no thanks.
Save paths
|
You can try the (unofficial) portable edition I made, no registry and the launcher automatically handles the directory paths. It also works in environments without the DirectX Runtimes and VC++ libraries. An year passed since my last update but you can use it with current dev builds without any issues...

What's the point of this? I use the portable.txt file for portable Dolphin. Does your build fix the savestate folder issue?

Maybe. Explain with details what are you trying to achieve with recursive paths so I can help you...

it's self explanatory, isn't it? to point to a relative path, so it is drive agnostic.
No it isn't. You may want relative paths to store your Data and ISOs in an external drive (which may get different letters) while maintaining Dolphin installed on your PC, for example. I said my portable edition may help because it stores Dolphin and all user data in a folder you may move to any place you want since the launcher will take car of all paths every time you launch Dolphin...

That's what portable.txt does, all user data is within the Dolphin folder, and I'm fine with it. My request was only for savestates, I don't want to move the rest of the User folder.

What portable.txt does is making Dolphin store its user data content in the same folder it's "installed", if you move it, the paths break. The portable launcher I linked you handles these cases and make sure the paths are right, even if you move to a different drive/directory, so, solving your issue with SaveState folder...

How is the path going to break if the path is .\User? I can move the Dolphin folder wherever I want, the path will still be .\User.

So, why do you need relative paths if you can already move Dolphin folder without breaking paths? And when I said the paths break, I was referring to ISO directories, for example...
