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)]].
== Properties Window ==
These are settings you can update GameINI directly from the game properties window.
* Enable Dual Core - controls [[#Dual Core]]
* Enable MMU - controls [[#Memory Management Unit (MMU)]]
* Skip DCBZ clearing - controls [[#DCBZ]]
* Enable FPRF - controls [[#Floating-point Result Flag]]
* Synchronize GPU thread - controls [[#Synchronize GPU Thread]]
* Speed up Disc Transfer Rate - controls [[#Speed Up Disc Transfer Rate]]
* DSP HLE emulation (fast) - controls [[#DSP HLE]]
* Deterministic dual core - controls [[#Dualcore Determinism]]

=== CPUThread ===
=== Graphics Backend ===
Controls Dual Core and Single Core modes. Can be set in the ISO properties window.
*<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).

*'''SkipIdle = True''' -> Enables Idle Skipping. This is the default setting for the emulator.
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]].
*'''SkipIdle = False''' -> Disables Idle Skipping.


=== Emulation Speed (formerly Framelimit) ===
*<code>EmulationSpeed = 0.000000000</code> will set it to "unlimited".

=== MMU ===
=== CPU Overclock ===
Controls the MMU setting. Can also be set in the ISO properties window.
Implemented in {{revision|5.0-2302}} and later.
*<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.


MMU = True -> Enables "MMU"
=== Memory Override ===
MMU = False -> Disables "MMU"
*<code>RAMOverrideEnable = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable "Emulate Memory Size Override" respectively.

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"


=== TLBHack ===
=== GPU Overclock ===
Controls the "MMU Speed Hack" setting, a hacked version of the MMU that isn't as demanding. Can also be set in the ISO properties window.
*<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 -->


*'''TLBHack = True''' -> Enables the MMU Speed Hack
=== Speed Up Disc Transfer Rate ===

*<code>wideScreenHack = True</code> or <code>False</code> to enable and disable the "Widescreen Hack" respectively.


=== Anti-Aliasing ===

Post - Processing Effects:
Choose a number for the language you want from the list below:
This option will only work with the opengl backend. Use the names listed in the drop down menu of the option, below we use sepia as an example.
0 = Japanese
[Video_Enhancements]
1 = English
PostProcessingShader = sepia (you can put the name of your preferred shader here).
2 = German
3 = French
4 = Spanish
5 = Italian
6 = Dutch
7 = Simplified Chinese
8 = Traditional Chinese
9 = Korean


Choosing Control Profiles per game:
=== Wii Aspect Ratio ===
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:
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


[Controls]
== [Dolphin.BluetoothPassthrough] ==
WiimoteProfile1 = Sideways => You can put any profile name you want to put here instead. This loads wiimote profile for player 1.
===Enable===
WiimoteProfile2 = Sideways => You can put any profile name you want to put here instead. This loads wiimote profile for player 2.
*<code>Enabled = True</code> or <code>False</code> to Enable or Disable bluetooth passthrough.
WiimoteProfile3 = Sideways => You can put any profile name you want to put here instead. This loads wiimote profile for player 3.
WiimoteProfile4 = Sideways => You can put any profile name you want to put here instead. This loads wiimote profile for player 4.


For gamecube controller profiles you should put:

PadProfile1 = Your profile name here. This loads gcpad profile for player 1.

PadProfile3 = Your profile name here. This loads gcpad profile for player 3.
PadProfile4 = Your profile name here. This loads gcpad profile for player 4.
