PPSSPP Feature Request Page

[TheDax]

To give this a bit more traffic until the real per-game settings system is added(don't remove the request for per-game settings yet, it's not fulfilled, this is just a temporary solution):

In development builds starting from yesterday, you can use a command-line argument on Windows to specify different controls.ini and ppsspp.ini files(hint: it can be used as a primitive per-game settings system, if you take the time to make shortcuts):

Code:

To boot a game directly from the command-line:
Example: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe "c:\emulators\games\MonsterHunter2ndG.iso"

--config: Tell PPSSPP you want to use a different config file than the default. Could possibly be used as a primitive per-game settings system, or used for testing.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --config="c:\emulators\games\psp\ff4\ff4.ini"

--controlconfig: Tell PPSSPP you want to use a different config file than the default. Might be useful for someone who wants to have per-game control settings.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --config="c:\emulators\games\psp\ff4\ff4-controls.ini"

So to boot your FF4 game with your lovely FF4-specific settings you could do something like this(if you want to use it in a shortcut, change the Target line to include the --config and --controlconfig stuff):

Code:

c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --config="c:\emulators\games\psp\ff4\ff4.ini" --controlconfig="c:\emulators\games\psp\ff4\ff4-controls.ini" "c:\emulators\games\psp\ff4\ff4.iso"

Note that the ini files don't HAVE to be named ff4.ini or ff4-controls.ini, nor do they have to be in the same directory as your game's ISO/CSO/EBOOT. That's simply one example.

Also, I already put this in the options explained thread, but this thread is more popular, so, here are all of PPSSPP's command-line options right now:

Code:

To boot a game directly from the command-line:
Example: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe "c:\emulators\games\MonsterHunter2ndG.iso"

--fullscreen: Start PPSSPP in fullscreen mode.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --fullscreen

--windowed: Start PPSSPP in windowed mode.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --windowed

--log: Tell PPSSPP you want to log the Debug Console to this file.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --log=c:\emulators\ppsspp.txt

--state: Tell PPSSPP you want this save state to be loaded upon opening. Must have a game to boot afterward, otherwise it won't work.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --state=c:\emulators\memstick\PSP\PPSSPP_STATE\ULES00193_1.00_0.ppst" "c:\emulators\games\ULES00193.iso"

-d: Enable debug logging.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe -d

-g: Enable 3d graphics logging.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --g

-j: Enable CPU Dynarec(JIT) for one session of PPSSPP. Mainly used for testing/debugging. Any settings changes made with this enabled will be discarded.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe -j

-i: Enable CPU Interpreter or one session of PPSSPP. Mainly used for testing/debugging. Any settings changes made with this enabled will be discarded.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe -i

--config: Tell PPSSPP you want to use a different config file than the default. Could possibly be used as a primitive per-game settings system, or used for testing.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --config="c:\emulators\games\psp\ff4\ff4.ini"

--controlconfig: Tell PPSSPP you want to use a different config file than the default. Might be useful for someone who wants to have per-game control settings.
Example usage: c:\emulators\ppsspp.exe --config="c:\emulators\games\psp\ff4\ff4-controls.ini"
