Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

In an effort to not have to keep a master list of games and settings, I give each game its own Dolphin folder to preserve settings per game.

llloooooolllllll it already does that XD

I do use several revisions. Is that functionality in all of them? If so, where would it be. I looked through several of the versions I use and do not see an option of that type. Laughing without assisting is never helpful. Especially when the answer is not obvious or is specific to one single revision (assuming it is of course)

This feature is here for a long time.

In Dolphin's game list, right-click a game and select "Properties". Cheat codes (Action Replay, Gecko, or plain RAM patches), projection hacks (only use 'em if needed somehow) and other emulation/core settings can be defined (or disabled; for example, dual core processing may cause stability issues in a few games) therein. Not all settings can be set/unset on a per-game basis, at least not yet.

These settings are saved into INI files inside the .\User\GameConfig folder (relative to the Dolphin executable), under the name of the game ID.

The options that aren't in the gui of the properties menu can be added by opening the ini in notepad and typing them in.

Thanks Dimitri and AnyOldName3. That will actually save me quite a bit of headache! I will get on this now.

You guys/gals are very helpful.

GBA emu ftw?

I'm actually partially surprised that's a real thing. Wikipedia says it has got basically the innards of a game boy in it, though, so it may be easier to emulate the plug on the GameCube, and then borrow the code of a game boy emulator.

I'd love to see some kind of 'auto start' features for Dolphin. For example, you can tell Dolphin to enable 'auto start' for Wiimote so that next time when you started Dolphin it will attempt to pair up with 1+2 activated wiimote automatically. No need to enter wiimote config then press "pair up" button by yourself.
