You can configure settings per game through their GameINI. GameINI is a plain text file with game's [[GameIDs|GameID]] as its file name and INI as its file extension. It can be retrieved from game's properties; right-click the game from game list then choose '''Properties''' from the context menu, then click on the '''Edit Config''' button and edit the empty text file that pops up. When editing, carefully arranged line, headings, and capitalization are important.
For controller settings, go to [[GameINI (Controller Settings)]].

== [Core] ==
== [Core] ==
The following entires go under [Core] section of the GameINI.
The following entries go under [Core] (or [Dolphin.Core]) section of the GameINI.


=== CPUThread ===
=== Dual Core ===
Controls Dual Core and Single Core modes. Can be set in the ISO properties window.
*<code>CPUThread = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable "Dual Core" mode respectively.  


*'''CPUThread = True''' -> Enables Dual Core mode
=== Graphics Backend ===
*'''CPUThread = False''' -> Disables Dual Core mode.
*<code>GFXBackend = D3D</code> to set the video backend to Direct3D 11.
*<code>GFXBackend = D3D12</code> to set the video backend to Direct3D 12. Direct3D 12 was removed in {{revision|5.0-3774}} then reintroduced in {{revision|5.0-9878}}, this setting will do nothing during this interval.
*<code>GFXBackend = OGL</code> to set the video backend to OpenGL.
*<code>GFXBackend = Vulkan</code> to set the video backend to Vulkan.
*<code>GFXBackend = Metal</code> to set the video backend to Metal (macOS only).

*<code>GFXBackend = Null</code> to set the video backend to Null(no output).


=== GFXBackend ===
=== CPU Emulator Engine ===
Sets the video backend the game will use.
*<code>CPUCore = 0</code> to set the CPU emulator engine to "Interpreter".
*<code>CPUCore = 1</code> to set the CPU emulator engine to "JIT x64".
*<code>CPUCore = 2</code> to set the CPU emulator engine to "JITIL". Removed (will do nothing) in {{revision|5.0-3792}} and later.
*<code>CPUCore = 4</code> to set the CPU emulator engine to "JIT ARM64".
*<code>CPUCore = 5</code> to set the CPU emulator engine to "Cached Interpreter".

*'''GFXBackend = DX11''' -> Sets the video backend to D3D11 (now called D3D in the emulator as of {{revision|4.0-155}})
If DSP HLE is disabled, DSL LLE will be used, it will use either DSP LLE recompiler or DSP LLE interpreter based on your general Dolphin settings, or see [[#DSP Emulator Engine]]. More information at [[Audio Emulation]].
*'''GFXBackend = OGL''' -> Sets the video backend to OpenGL
*'''GFXBackend = DX9''' -> Sets the video backend to D3D9. For {{revision|4.0-155}} and later setting the graphics backend to DX9 will do nothing.


=== CPUCore ===
=== Emulation Speed (formerly Framelimit) ===
Sets the CPU Emulator Engine that Dolphin will use to emulate the game. Uses numbers starting with 0 to represent the tick-mark order used in the Dolphin GUI for the option.
*<code>EmulationSpeed = 0.000000000</code> will set it to "unlimited".
*<code>EmulationSpeed = 0.100000001</code> will set it to "10%".
*<code>EmulationSpeed = 0.200000003</code> will set it to "20%".

*<code>EmulationSpeed = 2.00000000</code> will set it to "200%".


*'''CPUCore = 0''' -> Sets the CPU engine to Interpreter
=== CPU Overclock ===
*'''CPUCore = 1''' -> Sets the CPU engine to JIT
Implemented in {{revision|5.0-2302}} and later.
*'''CPUCore = 2''' -> Sets the CPU engine to JITIL
*<code>OverclockEnable = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable "CPU Overclock" respectively.
*<code>Overclock = 1.0</code> translates to "100%" CPU clock. The value of Overclock can be any float, and it acts as a multiplier; 0.5 is 50%, 1.0 is 100%, 1.5 is 150%, 2.0 is 200%, etc.


=== DSPHLE ===
=== Memory Override ===
Chooses the audio engine. Can also be set in the ISO properties window.
*<code>RAMOverrideEnable = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable "Emulate Memory Size Override" respectively.
*<code>MEM1Size = 0x01800000</code> size in bytes in hex or decimal.
*<code>MEM2Size = 0x04000000</code> size in bytes in hex or decimal.


*'''DSPHLE = True''' -> Forces DSP HLE for the game.
=== Synchronize GPU Thread ===
*'''DSPHLE = False''' -> Disables DSP HLE, forcing DSP LLE.
SyncGPU is a speed hack for dual core mode to allow games to get around dual core glitches without having to use single core. Usually not much faster than single core mode.
*<code>SyncGPU = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable the "Synchronize GPU thread" respectively. Even with this setting set to false, Dolphin will still synchronize the threads during idle skipping.
On Android, the Synchronize GPU thread setting instead provides three choices. To set the same configurations through the GameINI (which also works on non-Android versions) use:
*<code>SyncGPU = True</code> and <code>SyncOnSkipIdle = True</code> for "Always"
*<code>SyncGPU = False</code> and <code>SyncOnSkipIdle = True</code> for "On idle skipping"
*<code>SyncGPU = False</code> and <code>SyncOnSkipIdle = False</code> for "Never"


If DSP LLE is set in the lines above, it will use either DSP LLE recompiler or DSP LLE interpreter based on your general Dolphin settings. To force either DSP LLE recompiler or DSP LLE interpreter, see [[DSP EnableJIT]].
=== GPU Overclock ===
*<code>SyncGpuOverclock= 1.0</code> translates to "100%" GPU clock. The value of Overclock can be any float, and it acts as a multiplier; 0.5 is 50%, 1.0 is 100%, 1.5 is 150%, 2.0 is 200%, etc. This setting has an effect only if SyncGPU is enabled or, since {{revision|5.0-683}}, if Dual Core is disabled. <!-- Deterministic dual core might work too -->


=== DSPThread ===

Controls "DSP LLE on Dedicated Thread".
Accelerates the emulated disc speed, removing any loading emulation.
*<code>FastDiscSpeed = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable the "Speed up Disc Transfer Rate" respectively.


*'''DSPThread = True''' - Enables DSP LLE on Dedicated Thread
=== Dualcore Determinism ===
*'''DSPThread = False''' - Disables DSP LLE on Dedicated Thread

The following entries go under [Video_Hardware] (or [Graphics.Hardware]) section of the GameINI.


* '''EnableJIT = True''' => for LLE recompiler
=== V-Sync ===
* '''EnableJIT = False''' => for LLE interpreter
*<code>VSync = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable "V-Sync" respectively.


=== Volume ===
== [Video_Stereoscopy] ==
The following entries go under [Video_Stereoscopy] (or [Graphics.Stereoscopy] although that is currently bugged, see [https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12510?next_issue_id=12509#note-1 here]) section of the GameINI.
 
=== Stereoscopic 3D Offset Settings ===
*<code>StereoDepthPercentage = 100</code> Percentage to multiply with the depth value of StereoDepth in [[#Stereoscopic 3D Settings]].
*<code>StereoConvergence = 0</code> Base convergence value to be multiplied with the percentage value of StereoConvergencePercentage in [[#Stereoscopic 3D Settings]].
*<code>StereoEFBMonoDepth = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable "Monoscopic Shadows" respectively.


''Note: A dolphin version above 4.0 - 101 is needed to set this option.''
=== Stereoscopic 3D Mode ===
Values starting from 0 represent the drop down order in the list that dolphin uses.
*<code>StereoMode = 0</code>


* '''Volume = 100''' (values starting from 0 up to 100 max are valid).
=== Stereoscopic 3D Settings ===
*<code>StereoDepth = 20</code> Separation distance between the virtual cameras.
*<code>StereoConvergencePercentage = 100</code> Distance of the convergence plane.
*<code>StereoSwapEyes = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable "Swap Eyes" respectively.


== [Controls] ==
== [DSP] ==
The following entries go under [DSP] (or [Dolphin.DSP]) section of the GameINI.


=== WiimoteProfile''N'' ===
=== Audio Backend ===
*<code>Backend = No audio output</code>
*<code>Backend = ALSA</code>
*<code>Backend = Cubeb</code>
*<code>Backend = Pulse</code>
*<code>Backend = OpenAL</code>
*<code>Backend = OpenSLES</code>
*<code>Backend = WASAPI (Exclusive Mode)</code>
*<code>Backend = XAudio2</code> This option was removed in {{revision|5.0-10950}} and later [https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2019/11/07/dolphin-progress-report-october-2019/#50-10950-remove-xaudio2-by-ligfx for many reasons], Dolphin will try to use Cubeb instead.


The Wiimote profile that should be used for player ''N''.
=== DSP Emulator Engine ===
*<code>EnableJIT = True</code> or <code>False</code> for "LLE recompiler" and "LLE interpreter" respectively. This is when [[#DSP HLE]] is disabled.


* '''WiimoteProfile''N'' = Name Of Profile''' => The Wiimote profile to be used for player ''N''. You should change ''N'' to be the number corresponding to the player, and change ''Name Of Profile'' to the correct profile name.
=== Volume ===
*<code>Volume = 100</code>, values starting from 0 up to 100 max are valid.


=== PadProfile''N'' ===
== [Wii] ==
=== Wii System Language ===
Implemented in {{revision|5.0-2023}} and later.
*<code>Language = 1</code> for English


The gamecube controller profile that should be used for player ''N''.
Choose a number for the language you want from the list below:
0 = Japanese
1 = English
2 = German
3 = French
4 = Spanish
5 = Italian
6 = Dutch
7 = Simplified Chinese
8 = Traditional Chinese
9 = Korean


* '''PadProfile''N'' = Name Of Profile''' => The Gamecube controller profile to be used for player ''N''. You should change ''N'' to be the number corresponding to the player, and change ''Name Of Profile'' to the correct profile name.
=== Wii Aspect Ratio ===
Set the Wii Aspect Ratio to 4:3 or 16:9
*<code>Widescreen = True</code> for 16:9 or <code>False</code> for 4:3


=== Example: Choosing Control Profiles per game ===
== [Dolphin.BluetoothPassthrough] ==
===Enable===
*<code>Enabled = True</code> or <code>False</code> to Enable or Disable bluetooth passthrough.


First you should have a control profile saved for the gamecube controller or Wiimote. For example lets say you have created a Wiimote profile named "Sideways" for Wii games that use the sideways wiimote handling(donkey kong, kirby games, etc.). In order to load that profile per game you should put:
