Thank you! This fixed it!
Is it not possible to make this not a requirement or to add the line break automatically? I can see that it would be very easy to forget (and it hasn't been documented anywhere that I saw).

It's fixed now

Not anymore, bug fixed in latest master.
Thank you very much everybody!
Can't say I really like this change, I'm fine that this is an option for people who want it, but I prefer the old way and do not like the fact that now I need to make a mess of the registry to get the old way back again.
Instead of involving the registry at all can it be handled with an ini file from within the Dolphin directory? Also having any kind of option that requires registry tweaking for the masses to use is probably not the best solution, a GUI way from within Dolphin would be a better, more dummy proof way.

The thing with the registry is that it's perfectly safe to do if you know exactly what you're doing; in this case, it's hardly a hassle and perfectly convenient keeping it global like this. To implement a GUI feature like this would be too time-consuming for the team, and since 4.0 is pretty much ready for release, it just isn't feasible. Please reread the OP, I respect their reasoning for doing this and making a new entry for the registry is hardly a detriment, the only reason registry modding is bad is if you don't know what you're trying to change and why; in this case, it's very straightforward. I don't mind these changes at all. Something like this was long overdue.

I think I'm correct in saying that Dolphin doesn't write anything to the registry.
I have not looked at these changes on Windows, but would it not be possible to make a script/bash file to simplify the registry changes? For people who want the old way of per-directory settings, a batch file could make the process easier (although it doesn't look complicated at all right now, some people just aren't "technical"). Someone could make and share it on the forums. Just idly thinking.
That's already done - MaJoR provides .reg files that can be double-clicked to add the key into the registry.

Hopefully that should negate the fears of those who are wary about changing the registry
