[UNOFFICIAL] [Howto] Using gameini settings per game

[Mr. Mendelli]

So how precisely do I use a specified controller for each game? If I understand correctly I need to make an INI based off of a game's ID, then place the INI in %UserProfile%\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\GameSettings\ and add the following to it's contents:

[Controls]
WiimoteProfile1 = Sideways1 => %ProfileName%.ini

This doesn't seem to work. What other parameters can be used in place of "Sideways1 =>"? I have also tried only declaring the INI like so:

[Controls]
WiimoteProfile1 = %ProfileName%.ini

What am I missing here?

Ditch the .ini part just use the name of the saved configuration profile you made in dolphin controller configuration settings.

Thank you so much! I've been trying to figure this out for ages!

I was wondering if there is a simpler way to define controller binds by integrating them into a game configuration directly. Is this possible? I have been experimenting with various combinations of definitions and settings and I can't seem to get it to work. It would be a tad silly if the only option is to point a game configuration to a controller profile as the only means of a per-title controller boot. Here are some of the parameters I've been throwing together to achieve this:

[Controls]
WiimoteProfile1
(Binds here)

[Controls]
WiimoteSource0 = 1
(Binds here)

[Profile]
WiimoteProfile1
(Binds here)

[Profile]
WiimoteSource0 = 1
(Binds here)

Those are just a few examples. I really feel like this can be done, but nothing I've tried works. Could you help me out with this?

Nope you have to use a saved controller profile, you can't input them directly to the gameini as far as i know. And i believe it is easier this way instead of typing the controls for every single button manually.

Bummer. It was worth looking into I suppose, I hope this can be added as an option in the future. I was hoping to do this mainly to clean up my settings folder. Thanks for your response.

Hi,
Does anyone know if we can set the "Prefetch Custom Textures" On or Off through the gameini settings and what's the syntax?

Thank you!

I don't remember if it's possible in 5.0, but it's possible in the latest development versions, with the following syntax:

[Video_Settings]
CacheHiresTextures = True (or False)

Thank you JosJuice!

Do you maybe know if I can also enable "Set Console to NTSC-J" in gameini settings?

Can someone confirm if "EnableGPUTextureDecoding" works?
