The first key will set all Dolphin builds to use a Local User Directory, whereas the second will remove the Local User config and return to the Global User Directory system. To remove the LocalUserConfig registry key and revert back to the Global User Directory system, open notepad, paste the following in it and save it as a. To create the LocalUserConfig registry key, open notepad, paste the following in it and save it as a. These registry keys can be created and removed with.
Let’s see how to map that Xbox controller so that it behaves just like an old Gamecube controller. The Global User Directory system can be disabled entirely with a registry key. However, the Dolphin Emulator has such a mapping option built in, so there’s no need for such tools.
macOS and Android are not supported for this method. This will work on Windows and Linux (as of 5.0-148). Dolphin will check if that file exists in the same directory, then it will not use the global user directory, instead it will create and use the local user directory in the same directory. With the extension it should be named "portable.txt". To make a build use a local user directory, create a text file named "portable" next to the executable files of the build. path/to/dolphin/build/dolphin-emu -u /path/to/user/directory Disable the Global User Directory for a Specific Build with "portable.txt" On Linux and macOS, the Global User Directory's location can be changed with the command: If it is pointed to Desktop for example, the Desktop will be flooded with folders unnecessarily. Make sure that the "User" folder is explicitly specified, since Dolphin will assume whatever path it is directed to is the \User\ folder.
Under "Value Data", enter the path to the custom User directory.
