Stopping WinUAE from creating and looking in Documents.

FOL · 10 June 2013, 00:29

Had a search but didnt find an answer. I have created a config, that I want to always boot.

So I run the config and its fine the time. When I run it again, it says it cant find anything and then boots default kickstart (AROS).
I then alter the config again to point to correct places, then run again. It still says it cant find anything boots into aros kickstart.
If I delete the reg for WinUAE and documents/amiga files/ it then works fine. However you run it again and it screws up again.
Is there an option to make WinUAE look only in the EXE dir and not spread pointless folders in documents?

Had a look in the readme, but cant see anything relating to this.

And similarly, an option not to use the registry at all would be welcomed.

Create an empty winuae.ini file next to the winuae.exe. Then WinUAE will use that instead of the registry and store all files locally.

There is also a command line option, but I don't remember it. Perhaps -portable or something similar.

Note that a config is not saved automatically by running it. You have to save it explicitely by clicking on the Save button. And you also have to load it explicitly unless it's called default.uae.

Paths panel -> "WinUAE default (EXE directory)"

Worked great, altered to exe path and set relative. All working perfect.
I can move folder and it works everytime.
