How to fill in fields

Fields which require filenames

If you aren't familiar with how paths work, then follow this mini-guide to fill in any field which requires a filename.

  1. Right click the file you want to get the filename of.
  2. Click the option that says "Copy as path".
  3. Paste (Ctrl+V) in your config.yml where you need to fill in the setting.
  4. Replace every \ character in the pasted path with / (VERY IMPORTANT)

Music Filename Notepad++ Screenshot Before Backslash Replacement

And after step 4, the line would look like this:

Music Filename Notepad++ Screenshot After Backslash Replacement

Another example, instead filling in the iso-filename field. After step 3, the line would look like this: Iso Filename Notepad++ Screenshot Before Backslash Replacement This can also be done

Make sure you didn't set the backend of the Dolphin emulator provided in the download to anything but OpenGL, as this Dolphin release will crash if dumping frames on a backend that is anything but OpenGL. If Dolphin still randomly crashes, then please contact the developer.
