Comment (by lwcorp):

 The official portable version (from 2022) allows keeping the INI next to
 the EXE file.
 But what about cases when you **don't** want the INI there, but rather
 elsewhere decided by the user?

 In fact, nowadays **--config** even creates a third empty folder:
 **%appdata%\ScummVM\DLCs**.

 Please consider re-opening it until **--config** itself is fixed (either
 avoid creating **empty** folders or at least delete them after closing the
 program).
