Description

Game Name?

Wii System Menu

Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Info tab)

0000000100000002

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

SYSCONF settings overridden by the GameINI get reverted when you stop emulation, even if changed in emulated software. They should only be reverted if the value of the setting hasn't changed since emulation started. (If that can't be done, then at least check that the value on exit matches the override.)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Install the system menu and perform the initial setup, then stop emulation.
  2. Enable Progressive Scan and restart Dolphin (to avoid #13735).
  3. Create a user 0000000100000002.ini and add the following to it:
[Core]
ProgressiveScan = True
  1. Start the system menu.
  2. In the Wii settings menu, switch from 480p to 480i.
  3. Stop emulation.
  4. Remove the 0000000100000002.ini.
  5. Start the system menu. It will be set to 480p.

If you do the same steps but skip step 3, it will be 480i in step 8.

Can confirm this. Games ini still override sysconf in cases like video settings.

I can see this happening on mp8, game ini set to 4.3. After closing game, sysconf gets changed to 4.3

I think you're experiencing a different bug unless MP8 has a feature to change the Wii's widescreen setting. It may be #13745 if a title change is involved, or it maybe not be reported yet.
