How can I configure the graphic options for Wii and GameCube separately? - Super-M - 03-02-2016
I can play Wii Games only with 1x interal resolution and without any fancy added stuff, but I'm able to activate much more enhancements for GameCube games.
Is there any way I can separate the configs without too much work? I was think about two config files that are valid per system and not per game or something like that.
Thanks for any help.

It's only possible to do this per game, not per system. In general, there isn't actually a trend of Wii games being significantly more intensive than GameCube games. It depends a lot on the specific game.

A fun example of this is how much ZTP for the GC can slow down your system and how little New Super Mario Bros needs to run well.

Okay, too bad. I had hoped for an easy solution, but I guess writing the internal resolution factor and MSAA in the specific game config files works well enough.

I assume you can still use the registry option to enable local settings and have one Dolphin folder for GC games and one for Wii games, correct?

Yes, if you're fine with having two completely separate Dolphin installs that each use different game directories. Also, the method of creating a file named portable.txt in the same folder as Dolphin.exe is usually simpler than editing the registry.
