Loading Custom Textures from a Different Folder? - Kurausukun - 02-18-2016
Having a bunch of custom texture packs takes up a lot of space, so I wanted to move them from my main drive to my second data drive and use shortcuts to point Dolphin to the folders--it doesn't work. Is there anyway I can make Dolphin load my textures from a different location than Load/Textures/GAMEID without moving my entire user directory to the other drive?

Dolphin doesn't support this. Maybe you could do it using symlinks, but I'm not sure how that works.

Using symbolic hardlinks (directory junctions) works, thanks for the tip.
