The path of the user directory varies on different systems: + - on any system, the presence of a directory named `user` on the same directory of the executable will override the default behavior and Citra will use that instead. - on Windows, the path is `C:/Users/[your-user-name]/AppData/Roaming/Citra/`. Note that the folder `AppData` is hidden by default, so you need to change the configuration to view it. - in old version of Citra, the user directory used to be the `user` folder in the same directory as the Citra executable. - on macOS and Linux: in the terminal, type `echo $XDG_DATA_HOME`. This command will print out the user-specific data directory. If nothing gets printed out, that means the directory hasn’t been changed and the path is `~/.local/share/citra-emu/`. Note that the folder `.local` is hidden on most machines, so you need to change the configuration to view it. **Additionally, the `config` folder can be found with the command `echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME`, otherwise located in `~/.config/citra-emu/`**.
