Why does it not save any settings?

Whenever I start the emulator I have to configure my controls but everytime I exit and return, they are back to default! This happens to all options and I hate having to remember doing that every single time. Is there a way I can fix this?

Here is my operating system in case it is inportant: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Ok, never mind, found out how to solve it. I will leave it here so if anyone else has the problem they will know how to fix it. You have to launch as administrator.

If you run it from somewhere other than your desktop or my documents. This is basic >= vista operating protocol.

It was not in the zip, I unzipped it. I just did not have it running as administrator so running as it fixed the problem.

Re: Why does it not save any settings?

like i said. if it had been on desktop or your user directory it would have worked. windows >= vista does not like programs that drop files in their own directory, when their own directory is under program files. but thanks for confirming that.

Re: Why does it not save any settings?

Ok so for those still interested lol, as this is the first link that comes up in a google search.

for some reason my desmume makes the desmume.ini file as a folder.... delete the folder and make a new file called desmume.ini (I right click and go "new txt document"). After that, once desmume.ini exists as a file not a freaking folder, it saves all its data. Yes, I tried everything in this thread. No, none of it worked. Because every time it would make the .ini file a folder instead of a file.
