+--- Thread: Use relative paths for RPCS3 config files (/showthread.php?tid=208724)
Use relative paths for RPCS3 config files - PhobosAnomaly - 02-24-2025
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 ?
