Then I don't see how anyone could complain about anything :/

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.

It would not be time consuming at all to add a gui option. We don't really want to do so though. And even if we did, we couldn't right now anyway. We cannot change any more text before 4.0, to allow translators time to translate everything.
