Saves for Dolphin should be named the same in the retrodeck folder

Open Angstdiscord opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

Changing USA to US EUR to EU and JPN to JP make it infinitely more annoying to use things like Syncthing to keep our saves synced between Steam Deck and PC.

It would be better if the Dolphin retrodeck saves folder followed the regular Dolphin naming scheme

Hi, thanks for your concern.

I personally opted for that choice as Dolphin is using "JAP" as a Japanese folder name and that is like the "N" word for Japanese. They probably didn't know that and was not a willing mistake I'm sure, and I reported the issue to the team. Hopefully they will address it soon. So, to follow the same structure even the other folders were renamed.

Thanks for the consideration! I didn't know that.

Hopefully they'd be willing to change that.

It just makes syncing between desktop and steamdeck a little messy. Instead of syncing the entire folder, I have to sync each individual regions folder, so instead of "Gamecube Saves" I gotta have "Gamecube Saves US" "Gamecube Saves JP" etc.

Thank you for all your work! Love retrodeck.
