The Windows version of Cemu is currently the only version that is portable by default. While personally I am a fan of applications that are portable, this has been a constant troubleshooting burden with users losing their files due to deleting the Cemu directory or moving stuff around. It's especially bad with the mlc01 location which isn't really an intuitive concept and is easily "misplaced".
Since directory and MLC handling are intertwined with the UI I ended up overhauling parts of that as well. In summary the changes are:
%appdata%/Roaming/Cemu
). Similar to Linux/MacOS portable mode is still supported by creating a directoryportable
next to the executable. Ifsettings.xml
is detected in the same directory as Cemu.exe, it will operate in the previous portable mode to avoid breaking existing installationsI would appreciate if people could test this build and let me know if there are any issues with their existing installs regardless of what OS is being used
