Update dolphin.sh to include other settings #3940

Closed retropieuser closed 1 week ago

retropieuser commented 2 weeks ago

Adds a symlink to .local/share/dolphin-emu into /opt/configs/gc. The local share directory includes items like the memory card data, game specific configs, Wii Nand, Save states etc which users may want easier access to

cmitu commented 2 weeks ago

I think $HOME/.local/share/dolphin-emu should be moved under gc/dolphin-emu/Local, just like the configuration is under gc/dolphin-emu/Config. Is the 2nd change related or is just a correction ?

retropieuser commented 2 weeks ago

The second change would line the configs all under a dolphin-emu folder inside GC, it's strange, dolphin on linux, it separates out the config folder into it's own location .config/dolphin-emu and leaves the rest of the settings under .local/share. But on Mac I'm looking at it right now and the folders are all under one dolphin-emu:-

IMO it's tider than the way linux does it, but you're right we could have a config dir and a local dir inside the opt configs, that would be more or less the same thing

@retropieuser that's fine, but it doesn't answer or address my questions.

So the second change would send the configs inside a dolphin-emu directory inside gc rather keeping it where it is yes

I can see that - but what's the reason ? Is the current location wrong or it's just a 'cosmetic' change ?

retropieuser commented 1 week ago

It's comestic tbf that's the bit I was driving at above as you end up with a local directory and a config directory when imo it's tidier in one directory inside configs/gc. Anyway I've made the adjustment to only symlink the local directory

Thanks, I'll merge as is.
