Game Specific Considerations

GameEx Setup

To Shut down on escape: In the hotkey setting in dolphin bind the exit command to the escape key. (1)

GemVoy Setup

Advised setup:

Download and Install Dolphin

Make Dolphin use the application root directory rather than the Windows user directory from the start. Do this by creating a blank file called "portable.txt" in the application root. It may be possible to just cut and paste a pre-existing setup in the Windows user directory (tested with minimal preceding setup).

You must have done the above in order to use the settings script.
