How Do I Change the Profile Name? - Shiori - 11-16-2018

It's kind of lame to see "Hello, Unknown" and see [Unknown] in the Standings when I play Everybody's Golf. How do I change the profile name displayed? I looked at like every single file Notepad++ could open, but saw no [Username=""] option in any of the files.

   

While I am speaking of the game, it is good to see the latest version can run that game now (and Hot Shots Golf: Out of Bounds). RPCS3 needs to compile the shaders first, then it'll hang forever, so need to restart, then it will go further, hang again, then next time it will work (slowly). At least that's what happened to me.

User profile's username is stored on /dev_hdd0/home/userID/localusername

If the game doesn't detect it, it may be using some method that's not implemented

Ah...yeah I saw that file and edited it already. It used to say User but the game reads it as Unknown no matter what is typed in there. It is the only game I've tried that actually shows a character name.

I tried to show you a pic, but as you can see, that is not happening.

Edit: This is the best I can do. Even img formatting isn't working here...

Then the game uses something that's not implemented as I mentioned earlier
Img formatting works if you use the direct link
