[UNOFFICIAL] [Howto] Using gameini settings per game

[Klemc]

If i use one instance of Dolphin per-game (45mo!), so i should configure base settings and copy this Dolphin ready folder to another place, samething for each game.
I find it easiest way.

Hi,
The language selection no longer works for me with the version 5.0-12247. (Edit : same with 12481)

[Controls]
WiimoteProfile1 = Profile1 (it works)
[Wii]
Language = 3 (not works)

Edit 2 : not works only with japanese games.

You probably need to turn on Allow Mismatched Region Settings.

You saved my life, thank you!

I can't get the following two settings to work:
*Graphics Backend
*Antialiasing
In fact, I noticed that GameINI antialiasing settings don't even seem to work in the INIs that come with Dolphin.

Just wondering if you could help me with this since it looks like you might know I keep getting this error message for urbz but my Mario sunshine plays just fine.

“IntCPU: Unknown instruction 00000000 at PC = 00000000 last_PC = 00000000 LR = 00000000”

does anyone can do a GUI to do configs?

Here's a template for a Windows batch file to apply per-game settings and script external stuff before/after the game launches, eg. turning on ScanlineSync for games that play nicely with it.

Code:

@echo off

echo Enabling ScanlineSync...

copy /V /Y "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Dolphin Games\ScanlineSyncEnabled.cfg" ^
"C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server\Profiles\Dolphin.exe.cfg"

echo.
echo Launching Dolphin...
timeout 10

"C:\Program Files\Dolphin-x64\Dolphin.exe" ^
-C Dolphin.Core.CPUThread=True ^
-C Dolphin.Core.GFXBackend=OGL ^
-C Graphics.Hardware.VSync=True ^
-C Graphics.Settings.ShaderCompilationMode=1 ^
-C Graphics.Settings.InternalResolution=3 ^
-C Graphics.Enhancements.MaxAnisotropy=3 ^
-C Graphics.Settings.AspectRatio=0 ^
-C Graphics.Settings.Crop=False ^
-C Dolphin.Core.OverclockEnable=False ^
-C Dolphin.Core.Overclock=1.0 ^
-C Graphics.Hacks.SkipDuplicateXFBs=False ^
-C Graphics.Hacks.ImmediateXFBenable=False ^
-C Graphics.Hacks.EFBToTextureEnable=True ^
-C Graphics.Hacks.EFBScaledCopy=True ^
-C Dolphin.Core.SyncOnSkipIdle=True ^
-C Dolphin.Core.SyncGPU=False ^
-C Dolphin.Core.ProgressiveScan=False ^
-C Dolphin.Core.PAL60=True ^
-C Graphics.Enhancements.PostProcessingShader=(off) ^
-C Graphics.Settings.MSAA=0 ^
-b -e "D:\games\game.iso"

echo.
echo Disabling ScanlineSync...

copy /V /Y "C:\Users\Me\Desktop\Dolphin Games\ScanlineSyncDisabled.cfg" ^
"C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server\Profiles\Dolphin.exe.cfg"

echo.
echo Exiting in 10 seconds...
timeout 10

edit: on second thought, it's probably easier to just overwrite your existing GameSettings\XXXXXX.ini, as that allows you to set cheats which can't be done at the command line.

I can't get any of the [DSP] settings to work:

Code:

[DSP]
Backend = No Audio Output             # audio still plays
Backend = WASAPI (Exclusive Mode)     # GUI still shows Cubeb
Volume = 10                           # audio still loud

I must be doing something wrong, but I can't figure it out

I need it because Mario Sunshine with 60fps patch has random missing audio unless I use WASAPI.

Luckily I've moved to batch files to launch games, so I could work around it by scripting a modify/restore of the [DSP] section in Dolphin.ini, but I shouldn't have to do that:

https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=GameINI#.5BDSP.5D

edit: just noticed the "Backend = No audio output" is wrong in the above wiki page as it needs to be capitalised to work, but that only works when editing Dolphin.ini and still doesn't work in GameINIs.

edit: [Dolphin.DSP] works.
