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. - on Windows, the path is `C:/Users/[your-user-name]/AppData/Roaming/Citra/`.
