The solution here is that the configuration should always be handled directly by the given build version instead of being part of the global folders.

Not the same could be said for save files like the memory cards and custom cheats on GameSettings files because that is extra annoying to deal with requiring a copy/paste. (problem is I can't even do that because of the other GameSettings set with the hundreds of files for settings)

(Edit) Found that the User folder is there afterward where it just houses the cheats only I think/hope,because I hastily copy/pasted my ol' ini cheat files into it already.

Also was off-putting with the new gci saves but easily solved by selecting the raw memory card option in the drop-down list and placing my saves file into a pre-located directory due to matching the other directory set for it.

For Wii saves I had to remember the binary named folders in the Wii Title directory tree and copy/paste the save folders in there.
An easy way to find the directory for each is to have a save file made on the new version so you can open the location on both then go up some directories until getting inside of the title folder where you copy the folders from the old version to the folder of the new build.

Hope this helps anyone else that could end up running into the same issue and end up using a portable.txt afterward.

Edit: Man,build 5.0-6327 crashes a whole lot more than 5.0-4994 does. I can't get crash dumps working because I previously stopped them from being created from the potential of greatly aging my laptop's HDD when I mess around finding codes due to the frequent close errors that may happen when I break games too much in order to attempt finding an otherwise tough to find code.
All I did was load a save-state then realize I forgot to try and copy/paste my cheat Game Settings ini after purposefully creating a random new cheat in the list so it could reveal the needed directory.
Once I stopped the game,Dolphin just crashes with a close message,I really hate that problem and whole-fully blame Windows for that and its dastardly nature of ruining a lot of things.
Save-states didn't act this harshly on 4994 if that is the main cause.
It can't be dual-core because I use single-core to avoid other crashes that games do themselves along with debugger being broken whilst on dual-core.
Guess I will need to see if other backends share the same fate and hope one works better than D3D11 if that is one thing causing it.

For Wii saves you can right click the game in the games list and click "Open Wii Save Folder" or you can copy the whole NAND...
