When I first tried portable mode, I encountered a bug that caused UI translations not to be loaded because Cemu was looking for the resources folder inside the portable folder, instead of near the executable. I can't tell by looking at the code if that's fixed now, but it's worth checking before merging.
Also, IMO it would be nice to make portable mode more discoverable. A way to do that could be to have a message along the lines of "Cemu will save your data to [path]. If you wish to have them stored close to Cemu executable, create a folder named 'portable' in that location" in place of "Cemu is running in portable mode" when no portable folder is found.
resources
lookup is still broken under some conditions, thanks for letting me know. I'll look into fixing it before merging
The Windows version of Cemu is currently the only version that is portable by default. While personally I am a fan of applications that are portable, this has been a constant troubleshooting burden with users losing their files due to deleting the Cemu directory or moving stuff around. It's especially bad with the mlc01 location which isn't really an intuitive concept and is easily "misplaced".
Since directory and MLC handling are intertwined with the UI I ended up overhauling parts of that as well. In summary the changes are:
%appdata%/Roaming/Cemu
). Similar to Linux/MacOS portable mode is still supported by creating a directoryportable
next to the executable. Ifsettings.xml
is detected in the same directory as Cemu.exe, it will operate in the previous portable mode to avoid breaking existing installationsI would appreciate if people could test this build and let me know if there are any issues with their existing installs regardless of what OS is being used
