Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

Hi

I have a dual boot setup......Win8 & Ubuntu13.10 with dolphin installed on both OS.
Is it possible to have dolphin on both OS use the same configuration Files/Dirs such that one can use the same save states and controller definitions across both installations?

Thanks in advance

The easiest way I guess would be to replace Ubuntu's .dolphin-emu folder in your home directory with a symbolic link to your Dolphin folder in Windows. Obviously make sure your Windows partition is mounted first before you play Dolphin.

I personally only symlink my save files, and I keep the files themselves in Dropbox so that I have backups in case I fuck up my memory card or accidentally make one of my OSes unbootable and inaccessible (which, quite frankly, I manage to do much more often than I should).
