neil9000 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Hi and welcome, that depends on how you have launchbox setup. If you have your roms and emulators located in the launchbox folder then you can just copy the whole folder to another pc or hard drive with no issues. However if everything is in different locations then you may need to redo it on the new location. However this would be easier and quicker the second time as you can copy your images and videos to the new location and re-use them, this is what takes the most time when importing, downloading images and videos but once you have them you can copy and move them. As for the hard drive, I have the 5tb version of that drive which I keep my roms on its been fine for me. However I have only had it for 5-6 months so can't comment on its reliability.

Make a LaunchBox folder on the drive 1st then install it inside that. I had this issue some time ago when LaunchBox was installed on the root of my drive it would not install the updates because it could not find LaunchBox or some sort of issue like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, as many personal systems as you like. Just don't hand it out to friends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
