It sets the name based on whatever the frontend passes it as the game ID.

While I haven't tested this myself, it sounds like a valid issue. It's possible to make a game INI apply to DOL/ELF files by naming it 00000000.ini, but it would probably be better to not let people edit game INIs for DOLs/ELFs in the GUI since you otherwise would get the confusing behavior of editing the settings for all DOLs/ELFs instead of just the one you selected.

I was in the middle of typing the same suggestion JosJuice made but he beat me to it. I agree.
Updated by merauder75 about 6 years ago
Okay, I'll work on implementing that, simply by checking if the game is in DOL/ELF format and throwing up a message stating game-specific overrides aren't available for it.
Updated by JosJuice about 6 years ago
I would suggest not showing the option of editing per-game settings for DOLs/ELFs rather than showing a message if you select the option, since that's how we do it on PC. (Or is it not in a menu?)
Updated by merauder75 about 6 years ago
It's implemented by long-pressing the game in the list of games, so a message of some sort may be appropriate.
Updated by JosJuice about 6 years ago
Yeah, I think it would be good to go with a message then.

On Windows Dolphin you don't have the option to open game properties for DOL or ELF. Since the only Android long press options are game specific overrides, I'd rather have a message than users being confused as to why their long press does nothing for DOL or ELF.
