Hey sorry to bug you but you had an old post on this thread;
I'm trying to do the same thing (at least i think). I have an arcade system within Launchbox, under that I have both Arcade platform (FBNEO roms) and MAME (MAME2003 roms). Is there a way to move the "MAME" platform roms into "ARCADE" without using the FBNEO core? I see you did this, but wouldn't changing the platform for MAME to arcade also move it over to FBNEO core and prevent those roms from then booting?
Any feedback is appreciated.

So you have two platforms, one called Arcade with FBNEO roms. The other platform is called MAME and it uses MAME2003 roms?
You should be ok to move them. Launchbox keeps track of which emulator is associated with each ROM regardless of Platform. Why don't you try to move a few over and see what happens?
I'm at work so I'm doing this from memory. I think you just right click a title in Launchbox and click edit (or select several or all titles in a platform and right click and edit) and click the Platform field (or maybe its called change platform). This will let you change the platform that rom is displayed in without changing the emulator it uses. I might be over-simplifying how to do it but that is it in a nutshell.
You can do this the other way as well. Say you have a platform set up, lets use Nintendo64 as an example. You have it set up so all N64 roms open with Project 64. You notice a few roms don't work properly. You can set up a second emulator like Mupen64 that you know the rom works with. You go into the platform, select those roms you want to change and right click and find the edit option. Once the edit opens select the emulator field and you can change just those roms to open with Mupen64 without changing the Platform they are in.
Not too hard. Give it a shot.

Thank you for this small utility!

You had posted a question in this thread a while back regarding system specific custom configs. I was just wondering if you ever found a solution for this? I am struggling with the same thing at the moment. Im using launchbox with Retroarch's MAME core for all of my arcade games. My issue is that I want each system to use its designated overlay rather than the same overlay for all games across all systems. Let me know if you got anything on this. I appreciate any help.

Sorry so late to respond. I've been off the grid for the last week or so. I believe the easiest way is for different systems that use the same cores, simply copy and rename the core and point Launchbox or Retroarch to use that core for that system. I personally don't use Retroarch for MAME because for my tastes, I find it to be overly complex, but some systems such as Gameboy and Gameboy color, just copy and rename the core so one of those systems uses one core, and the other system will use your renamed copied core. Does that make sense? After pulling much hair out and before I figured this out, I actually created whole new directories and copies of Retroarch for each system I had problems with which will work but is probably overkill.
