So I'm currently still running Dolphin 4.0-7461 on Windows 8.1, and things have been working great for many many months now. However, having seen the 5.0 release video, it seems like it's really worth the upgrade for some of it's fixes and performance upgrades.
Is there anything special I need to do to make sure all my meticulously tinkered with settings all stay intact as I make the upgrade? Will the new settings just be automatically kept through the upgrade? Or will I need to do a backup > restore sort of deal with some of my setting files when transitioning to 5.0? (If a backup > restore is recommended regardless - what files/folders should I be backing up for safety?)
Also, does 5.0 overwrite my current 4.0-7461 version? Or can they both be installed on the same machine at the same time?
I've gotten 4.0-7461 exactly how I want it, so I just want to make sure I don't have to redo all that time spent playing with settings. For any game in my long-ish list, I've likely modified one (if not all of) the following game-specific settings:
- Gameini settings (per the wiki for any needed fixes)
- Controller mappings
- Patches
- AR Codes
- Custom texture packs
Looking at my folder, I might have even messed with LLE ROM dumping at some point, but I can't recall if that is currently being utilized. And then there are also memory files, global Dolphin config and graphic settings, and anything else I might be forgetting that would need to be retained.
Any suggestions on how to best preserve my settings while upgrading to Dolphin 5.0 are appreciated!
