Full Version: Dumped Frames Relocation
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I'm trying to save some dumped frames, but they are huge in file size. This wouldn't be a problem if I use my D: drive, which has all the space on it, but dolphin defaults frame files to it's C: installation folder. I can't seem to find a way to redirect where these files are saved, can someone please tell me how to do so?

Config -> Paths doesn't seem to have what I'm looking for.
Use the latest dev build so you can just extract it to the D:\ drive, and then drop a portable.txt into the Dolphin executable directory to create a user folder in the same directory.
Or link it with mklink. Dolphin still tries to write in the original place, but in reality, due to the linking, it will write on the other location (eg. on an other drive) instead, effectivly relocated the folder used to store the dump. You even keep the original settings and data in place.

That worked great! Thank you for the support!
I've created a pull request which will allow users to set their own dump paths.
