Moved Rom location, how do i bulk redirect?

[andi massey]

Hi guys,

This is my first post, so be gentle.

Ive been running hyperspin via rocketlauncher for a year or so...after many trials and tribulations ive thought stuff it.   Ive had enough and purchased a licence for Bigbox.

I kept my hyperspin/rocketlauncher files in tact and directed my Rom folder to the Hyperspin rom location and everything worked sweet.

Now due to my contempt for rocketlauncher/hyperspin im going completely commando and only using only Launchbox/Bigbox.....

So ive moved my roms into the Launchbox/Games folder and gone to manage platforms/edit platform and redirected the path correctly.  I'd already downloaded all the Emumovies art/vids prior to this so my question is now - ive told my platform where to look for the roms how do i refresh them? When i right click on an image and edit game its still pointing to the old rom location, i cant see a way in bulk editor?

thanks in advance 

 

 

oops sorry mod, maybe this should have gone in the noobs section?

You will have to edit your individual platform XML documents in order to change where LB thinks your games are in bulk. Best method is the find and replace method using NotePad++. Using the find method type in your original path, then go to count and make sure it actually finds what it is supposed to after that go to the replace tab on the small window that opened and now type in where your games now are located and click the replace all button then save your changes and close out of NP++. LB must be closed while you edit the XML or the changes will not take effect.
