So everyone, I want to move the Dolphin Emulator folder to another location then when I was searching about it I found this tutorial:

https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/controlling-global-user-directory/?nocr=true


Following it I managed to change my location but even now when I open my dolphin he continues to create the same folder in my documents with only 2 folders ''wii'' ''gc''

What I have to do now to dolphin stops creating these two folders?

If you create a blank portable.txt file & save it in your dolphin folder, it won't create those folders

Change the memory card and NAND paths so that they no longer are in the folder in Documents.

Okay, I managed to do with the wii but the only left is the folder GC which I also did the same with wii but it keeps creating in documents... The memory card path is the SD Card Path?

No, memory cards and SD cards are completely separate. Memory card paths are set in the GameCube tab of the configuration window.

I changed the slot A path ( you can see in attachment ) in my new folder, but it keeps creating the same folder in documents.

Hijacking this thread to ask a similar question.

Currently my Dolphin installation is on my storage drive (HDD) but the automatic Global User Directory is on my main drive (SSD), and since I use save states often (and I mean really often), I end up writing 25mb everytime I save - killing my SSD slowly but surely. I'd like to limit writing to my SSD by moving my Global User Directory to my storage drive.
I read the wiki about linux and mac moving GBD but I don't understand what to write in terminal. I wrote


Code:
/Users/isakkeyten/Library/Application\ Support/Dolphin/ -u /Volumes/STORAGE/Games/Dolphin/GBD/

but this just said


Code:
-bash: /Users/isakkeyten/Library/Application Support/Dolphin/: is a directory


and my GBD folder is empty so im pretty sure nothing happened (I also have no idea what the -u flag does, plus this command has like zero actually commands, just two directories so i'm confused)
I thought about making a copy of my GBD to my storage and then making a symlink but thats not gonna help writing on my SSD since dolphin is still gonna write there.

Help?

Please don't hijack threads with similar questions in the future.

The command is supposed to be <path to the Dolphin executable> -u <path to the desired user folder>. That will start a Dolphin session, with the path supplied after -u used as the user folder.

(What does GBD mean, by the way?)

When you say "dolphin executable" you mean the Dolphin.app? (cuz .app are sort of a folder that can be executed)
GBD is just a custom folder where i want to keep my global user directory

Result of running  


Code:
Isaks-iMac:~ isakkeyten$ /Volumes/STORAGE/Games/Dolphin/Dolphin.app/ -u /Volumes/STORAGE/Games/Dolphin/GBD/
-bash: /Volumes/STORAGE/Games/Dolphin/Dolphin.app/: is a directory
Code:
Isaks-iMac:~ isakkeyten$ /Volumes/STORAGE/Games/Dolphin/ -u /Volumes/STORAGE/Games/Dolphin/GBD/
-bash: /Volumes/STORAGE/Games/Dolphin/: is a directory


So nothing happened basically. What am I doing wrong?

I'm not very familiar with macOS, but yes, I think that's the one.
