Dolphin, the GameCube and Wii emulator - Forums

hi guys
where can i download
portable version of stable 4.0.2 not installer
in official site is only installer for 4.0.2(

Just use the development builds instead, they are much better. Both in terms of performance and stability. Else you can scroll back to page 186 there and choose dolphin-4.0-1 as a version very similiar to 4.0.0

To add on to what degasus said, any recent dev release can be made into a portable install by dropping a blank text file called "portable.txt" into the dolphin emulator directory.

It does. It makes dolphin to not look in your home  directory. So all save files, config files, ..., are loaded from the dolphin directory. This won't touch any file else.

What he's saying is that it won't touch any other files. It will only touch files in the directory of the Dolphin executable.

And what about the texture packs for example, can we put them in the "load" directory of dolphin instead of user/... ? By dropping portable.txt ? So you mean everything will be written in the dolphin directory, save states, memory cards, etc ?

If portable.txt exists, all of that will be read from and saved to the User directory in the Dolphin executable's directory, and nowhere else.
