How to set up Dolphin and load the timer mod for emulated categories of Twilight Princess (real time with loads removed).
Dolphin settings:
1. Download Dolphin version 5.0-19368, or newer, with default settings (auto-update is recommended).
2. Inside Dolphin's games list, right-click Twilight Princess and go into properties.
3. In the "Patches" tab, tick the "Hyrule Field Speed Hack" box. Click "Close" at the bottom.
4. Click the "Config" button near the top.
5. Go to the "GameCube" tab.
6. In the "Device Settings" section, select "GCI Folder" for Slot A (highly recommended over the other memory card options).
Notes:
You may wish to confirm the path by clicking the three dots. If there is no Slot A folder, either let the game create it by starting a new file and saving, or create the folder manually.
