9/20/2023 0 Comments Dolphin emulator portable![]() However, if I ever move Dolphin to another folder, then I'll have to go and change the Wii NAND root directory again. So if I keep Dolphin in the same place, that's not really too much of a problem. However, for the Wii NAND root, I have to manually specify a directory for this. Apparently under "GameCube" you have to change "SlotA" to "GCI Folder" in order for the portable version of Dolphin to use the memory card in the "User" directory instead of creating one in Documents. ![]() You'll need to change that if you want your Wii save data to be portable. However, the reason that Dolphin is creating that file in Documents is probably because your NAND path is set to the Wii folder in Documents. You won't really lose out on much by deleting that file, as all of the settings that are stored in there are quick to set up again, and often not relevant anyway.

What should I do? Is this a bug? Is this expected behavior? Is that particular file important if I want to keep all of my game saves / Dolphin settings / Wii Menu settings / etc. This is a portable version of Dolphin, after all, and I don't know why Dolphin is still placing stuff in the Documents folder. In this directory is a single, extensionless file titled "SYSCONF." I have no idea what it does, but if it's important I'm somewhat concerned that it isn't being placed in the "User" directory like the rest of the files. "C:\Users\\Documents\Dolphin Emulator\Wii\shared2\sys" When checking what's in the directory, I find this: I deleted the directory and started up Dolphin again, and the directory was created once again, and this problem persists every single time I open up Dolphin. Since Dolphin was supposed to be portable, this bamboozled me. However, to my surprise, I noticed that this portable version of Dolphin still creates the "Dolphin Emulator" directory in the "Documents" folder under "C:\Users\\Documents". When I started up Dolphin, it created the "User" directory in the same directory as the Dolphin.exe file (as expected) and it can run games and do everything normally. ![]() As I understood it, this was all I needed to do in order to make Dolphin completely portable. I installed Dolphin 5.0 and made it portable by creating the "portable.txt" file in the same directory as the Dolphin.exe file. It's not changeable, and I think 'cos it's pretty much the most writable directories in your account.I'm not sure if this is expected behavior or not, but I find is somewhat interesting and I'm not sure why Dolphin 5.0 (stable release) does this. Yeah, I remember this being a gripe with me too sometime back, but yeah. I then checked my Documents folder - and lo and behold there's a "Dolphin Emulator" folder which contains all the writable, modifiable things, like your emulated memory card, dumps, and NAND. What's important to note is that there's an INSTALLATION DIRECTORY (C:\Program Files) that contains the executable and any localizations, which I thought was what contained all those files in question. I went home and checked my Dolphin installation. Reinstalling and choosing a custom location, if that is in fact where it's installed to, would work though. And even if it were, you certainly can't just move the files elsewhere as the install points registry keys at their original location so much more than just the shortcuts would break. That would generally be at C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86). (04-14-2015, 12:16 PM)Petie Wrote: I haven't installed Dolphin but that certainly doesn't look like the installation directory.
