Hey,
I want to use a lot of savestates, and make them as accessible as possible. Before with 3.5 what I did was just make a new Dolphin and I had like 10 Dolphin folders each with it's set of 8 savestates.
Now that I'm trying to switch over to 4.0 I'd like to set up things differently. The normal set-up now uses a global directory. This seemed like an issue at first, but I found I can use the "add portable.txt" method and that should work fine. So that's my fallback solution if no one else knows a better way.
I think a better way, however, would be to have multiple user folders and use shortcuts for dolphin to access the different user folders.
This is described here: https://dolphin-emu.org/docs/guides/cont...directory/
The problem is I just can't get that to work. It seems quite simple, but when I add -U [path] to the target it says isn't valid. I'm just not sure how to get it to work, because I feel I have followed the directions precisely.
What would be even better is if I could make a shortcut dolphin to use the save build and user folder, except with different "Statesaves" folder.
Anyone have any ideas for how this type of thing could be done better? I'm sure I could save the savestate files and then just copy and paste the ones I want at the time, but that's a pretty clunky solution...
Thanks for any advice. I am using Windows 7 if that helps and Dolphin 4.0 as previously stated, but I don't think my other specs are relevant.
