Dolphin core can't boot games if rewind is enabled

This is something that need to get fixed because I don’t want to manually turn off rewind when I want to play a GameCube/Wii game!

I think you can use a core override to disable rewind when the core is loaded.

What’s a core override?

It’s a way to change your settings automatically when a given core is loaded.

You can make them through the RetroArch GUI, normally, but this is an exception because it crashes before it can even load for you to turn the option off (and subsequently save the override). So, you’ll have to do it the old fashioned way (that is, make it manually). To do that, go to your config directory and make a subdirectory named Dolphin. Inside that Dolphin directory, make a text file named Dolphin.cfg and put this line in it:

rewind_enable = "false"

Save and exit, and from now on, it should disable rewind whenever the dolphin-libretro core is loaded.

But then you have to manually turn it back on! :frowning:

Overrides only function while the core/game is loaded. Once you load another core, it will go back to whatever your default setting is. Just FYI: your other settings changes will not automatically save anymore while an override is loaded. If you want to add any more changes to the override, you have to save a new override with the new changes.
