Ok them being system files was what I was confused about. Thanks for the quick response

Yea I realized that now. Followed a YouTube instructional video not realizing that where the programs are installed would be were they store everything downloaded through them like the cover art. That's why now I'm putting everything on the hhd. I thought I could install the basic programs on the ssd and have everything downloaded to the hdd by choosing the download path and the core and rom paths but i realize now its just better to put everything on the hhd. What about visual c,direct x, divx60,retro arch etc ? I already installed it on the ssd should I install it on the hhd if that's what I'll be running launchbox off of or will everything im running off the hhd use them of the ssd automatically?

Hey everyone, I just did a budget build pc for a home arcade and want to set up launch box the most organized way I can. My pc has a 128g ssd (has windows 10 installed on) and a 2tb hdd installed. This is my first build and what I want to do is have everything setup on the hhd since that has the space I need for roms, cores, meta data etc. I would also like to set it up ( if posssible) to basically be able to be portable so I can easily do another build if I choose to in the future. Do I need to install all the supporting software to run launchbox on the hhd and ssd or just the hhd? Where should I place retro arch, techno parrot, Sega model 3 and more? Where should I place roms and cores? what do you guys recommend? Im not a complete noob when it comes to emulating and softmodding consoles but I am with launchbox and looking more for organization and easy of use recommendations more than anything. I plan on emulating everything up to gamecube/ps2 and everything arcade related. Thanks
