specific portable Dolphin installation will not update no matter what

[kekalot]

I have three portable installation folders so I can separate the user/load/textures folders between them, annoying to manage between GC/Wii textures packs manually

one for GC, one for Wii and one backup which is both together, nothing fancy.


I was wondering why one of them will never auto-update while the other two do update.

I tried syncing everything BUT the User folders between all of them, it "updates" and works but then the next automatic update will not work, it just says "You are running the latest version available on this update track" while the other 2 updates.

right now, I'm having to use the zip file from Dev mode every time to .. update it but it's annoying.


how does Dolphin know that it's on Dev or Beta update track if it's set in portable mode? my guess is it was locked in the registry if I ever loaded it without the portable.txt file.

doesn't matter which files I put in there


how do/would I switch in registry or delete which update track that Dolphin install is on manually since even the new files don't seem to do it?

I kinda wish it was an option in the configuration to be honest (to switch update tracks) even if I'm probably the only person with this issue.

What version specifically will not update? And what update track is it in?

that's the point of the post, unless i'm mistaken there's no way to tell which update track it's on
the two folders have exactly the same files in the root of them (i Sync them cause one of them don't update)

and here is a screenshot result from current updates.

the GC folder does have the update, the Wii nope and I installed from the Dev download in the Wii folder a day or two ago and several times before

so the entries for which update track it's in must be stored somewhere else, either in a folder that it shouldn't be reading from anymore (it's supposed to be portable) or in registry.

Just check in the main config window? And it is definitely stored in the main dolphin.ini.

well there you go, both of them were on Dev but the Wii .ini was missing a string at the bottom of the

[AutoUpdate]
UpdateTrack = dev

I suppose it was messed up somehow and since it's in the User folder it doesn't get fixed by dumping a new Dev zip content in the same folder

Thanks, appreciate it.
