Is there a way to make multiple copies of Dolphin use their own settings? - Soldiershak - 01-17-2014 I use Steam to launch my Dolphin games, but each installation of Dolphin reads any changes I made the previous play. Is there a way to force Dolphin to read a settings file in its own directory, thanks, RE: Is there a way to make multiple copies of Dolphin use its own settings? - skid - 01-17-2014 Yeh, create an empty text file in the Dolphin folder named portable.txt RE: Is there a way to make multiple copies of Dolphin use its own settings? - RachelB - 01-17-2014 Just use game inis to set the right settings for each game. https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-unofficial-howto-using-gameini-settings-per-game RE: Is there a way to make multiple copies of Dolphin use its own settings? - Soldiershak - 01-19-2014 Thanks for the tips guys, I haven't opened the link yet, but the inins thing wouldn't work in my case because I need to make copies in order to add each game to Steam to get the overlay. Is it really that simple for the portable.txt thing?, an empty text file?
