Checklist

  • I have searched for a similar issue in this repository and did not find one.

Description

Like most other emulators, have an option to right click and change the settings for a specific game by going off the default settings, for example if I want to have Readbacks enabled but only for Driveclub, I could right click Driveclub, create a custom config file and only enable Readbacks for this game.

Reason

Currently the feature has been implemented but without being included in the QT GUI, meaning that you have to browse the emulator files and create them yourself if you want to use it, adding them to the GUI would make this process easier and more intuitive in my opinion. I believe most users won't bother browsing the emulator's files to make a custom config for their games, and I even think that in this state most people will miss the fact that this feature has been implemented, I think adding it to the GUI at some point is mandatory to facilitate the user experience.

Examples

Personally, I wouldn't want to overload the menu with a bunch of options, as other emulators do, so I'll offer a first look, which may not be thought out to the end, but will do as an example.

And the rest will be in the Properties:

Since I don't know how many options there will be in the future, I just added a few tabs for example. It is possible to make the left part (with the picture, title, etc.) remain the same for everyone, and the right part with the tabs change. I made a sketch based on the window with patches, so I didn't change it much, but some buttons should become common for the whole window.

If someone wants to offer something of their own, then don’t be shy.
