Full Version: Use relative paths for RPCS3 config files

Hi there,

I'll try to keep it short: my different emulators are located on a external hard drive I'm using to play games on various computers - mine, friends, etc.

All of my setups are "portable", meaning, all paths in config files uses a relative syntax.
This way, no matter where I start my emulators, or where I put the folders from my install, the paths are always recognized and working.

However, it seems I can't achieve the same thing in RPCS3.

Manually editing the config files to change paths for relative ones, it seems the software can't read the paths.

For example, in D:/Emu/Sony - PlayStation 3/RPCS3/config/games.yml, changing this line:
D:/Emu/Sony - PlayStation 3/ISOs/Siren - Blood Curse/

to this:

../Sony - PlayStation 3/ISOs/Siren - Blood Curse/

The game is not shown in the main window when I start RPCS3.

It's a very basic function but it doesn't seem to work, am I doing something wrong or is this not supported ?
