Not saving settings (special characters in save path) #65

Open Erick-BR opened 3 weeks ago

Erick-BR commented 3 weeks ago

Hi, good emulation, especially sound.

I don't know how to save settings. When I close emulator, all settings gone. Bios location, video options... all.

Thank you

Thanks! The emulator saves your settings in your c:/users/appdata/roaming dir in Windows, maybe a permission issue?

You can also create a "portable.ini" file without any content in the same place where the exe is located and it will save everything in the same path. You can try that.

Hi, portable.ini file method worked.

Maybe the problem is because my username has an accent (i'm from Brasil, this is common here) so internally app doesnt find directory because some unrecognized character. I have the same problem with Stella emulator which also have an option to change settings directory by command line.
