[UNOFFICIAL] [Howto] Using gameini settings per game

F3TiSH · (This post was last modified: 03-01-2015, 09:30 PM by F3TiSH.)

"copy current config" button would make all of it so much faster.

Edit: Well, configuring 1 game took me 1 hour and there are still options that can't be set. Like for example borderless window and cheats. Which defeats purpose of configuring few games and launching them without fiddling with options at all. This is the only bad thing about dolphin, in pcsx2 I just used frontend that let me config every game and focus on playing games.

It seems that newer builds (including newest) won't load my control profiles set in game ini. Can anyone confirm?
Typically it looks like:

Code:

[Controls]

WiimoteSource0 = 0

WiimoteSource1 = 0

WiimoteSource2 = 0

WiimoteSource3 = 0

PadType0 = 6

PadType1 = 6

PadType2 = 6

PadType3 = 6

PadProfile1 = Profile1

PadProfile2 = OtherProfile2

PadProfile3 = OtherProfile3

PadProfile4 = OtherProfile4

It doesn't work for any game, it did in older builds from 4.0-4xxx. Setting the profile in global configuration works, but maybe I'm just blind?

This is the first time that I'm trying to use game specific settings. I want to activate XFB for Sonic and the Secret Rings, since it seems to need that now. I have rightclicked on the game and clicked "edit config" to bring up a blank RSRP8P.ini. I have then put these lines in it and saved.

[Video_Settings]
UseXFB = True
UseRealXFB = False

It still won't use XFB when I run the game. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Can someone help me out here? Thanks.

See this issue, it is fixed in a pr: https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=8307

Ehm a game either needs it or not, i haven't seen a case of a game that suddenly needs it when it didn't before. Still the setting seems fine, i don't know why it doesn't work for you, i will need to investigate.

My bad. I didn't realize that the checkbox was still checked even though it wasn't used. Thanks.

The FrameLimit options didn't work for LOZ:Wind Waker(GameCube) and MP Triology(Wii). Wind Waker is running on capped 30 fps because otherwise it would be too fast but the MP Triology needs a cap of min 60 to work properly. Any suggestions how to deal with this ? Huh

I wrote both like this:

[Core]
UseFPS = True
FrameLimit = 0x00000007 and for the other game 0x0000000d

I am also using version 4.0.2 of Dolphin emulator

It doesn't exist as an option any more, that is expected.
