puppyroach Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I am really new to launchbox but everything is up and running great so far and giving my hours of gaming :). I will likely end up with 20-ish console and togehter with the games, it will likely be around 100GB, not more. So I was wondering: would it be possible to put LB, all my emulators and Roms on a 128GB USB 3.0 and basically have everything on the go? Would I have to update all directories every time I put the USB into another computer or does LB automatically detect the new directory? Would performance be affected by having on USB 3.0 instead of my harddrive (I don´t have an SSD but instead a SATA and it runs the games perfectly).

Lordmonkus Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 If everything is organized within a single folder like \Launchbox then it should work. As far as performance goes it shouldn't be too bad as long as you plugging it into a USB 3.0 port. Might not be quite as good as having it on a hard drive but if you keep the pictures to just the boxart and maybe a screenshot it should be alright. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroArcade Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Of course, it's not like the speeds are like win 95 and USB 1 =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puppyroach Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 I got everything working really great, even playing Saturn, Dreamcast and Gamecube of the usb-stick works like a charm (as long as I do it through USB3.0). I had to make some adjustments to Gamecube and Dreamcast since I don´t use Retroarch for those, ut now I have a super portable console :).
