Dolphin {{revision|3.5-2368}} and earlier always used a local user directory, stored in the same folder as <tt>Dolphin.exe</tt> and named <tt>User</tt>. Starting with {{revision|3.5-2381}}, the global user directory system was introduced on Windows and the default user directory changed to a subfolder inside the <tt>Documents</tt> folder, named <tt>Dolphin Emulator</tt>. | |||
The default folder changed again on {{revision|5.0-18242}}, which now defaults to <tt>%AppData%\Dolphin Emulator</tt>, however, for backwards compatibility, the previous location will remain in use if it exists when launching Dolphin {{revision|5.0-18242}} or newer for the first time. Additionally, it's possible to configure Dolphin to still use a local user directory or another custom location, as explained below. | |||
