Description

Game Name?

Wiimms Mario Kart Fun 2018-06

Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, properties, info tab)

RMCE37 - The Qt UI shows this ini
KMCE37 - The ini that is actually loaded

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

The properties menu edits an ini unrelated to the one actually loaded on game boot.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Create a Mario Kart fun patched MKW iso. http://wiki.tockdom.com/wiki/Wiimms_Mario_Kart_Fun_2018-06
I chose to use a separate game save file. (maybe related?)

Boot up game. Wrong ini file's settings are applied.

I understand that this is most likely caused by some weirdness from the patch. However, the ini loaded by the ui and game should be consistent.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Yes. 5.0-8909

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version?

Broken by Dolphin 5.0-8768 https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/7411

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

Windows 10
Nvidia GTX 970
Intel i7-6700K

Not sure exactly why it's not working, but I'll try to take a look.

For the reference, what game ID does the Info tab of the game properties show, both in pre-5.0-8768 versions and post-5.0-8768 versions?

Pre-8768 show the gameid as KMCE37

post-8768 shows the gameid as RMCE37

KMCE37.ini is loaded on boot in both cases.

Please test PR 7054: https://dl.dolphin-emu.org/prs/pr-7504-dolphin-latest-x64.7z

And thanks for reporting this. I'm not sure if the issue would have been found otherwise.

That PR seems to have fixed it. Dolphin now loads RMCE37.ini for the UI and game.

Thanks!
