It might, but you also may have to adjust the emulator locations with Launchbox. But then if you take the external drive to another PC it should be fine. 2 hours ago, johnnyskullhead said: does Launchbox default emulators to same drive as its own folder ? Not sure if it defaults to it. 2 hours ago, johnnyskullhead said: Am i strange to run emus from outside launchbox folder ? I don't think so, my emulators and roms are all stored outside of my Launchbox folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckp Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 You can have things wherever you want. If you move things around after configuring LB, then you can fix all the paths to things that broke by editing the .xml files in your Data folder using mass edits with something like Notepad++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 If your on the beta you can move where LB looks for your roms from within the program now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyskullhead Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 Roms arent moving so they should still work hopefully ?!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 i think it's pretty safe to move what you need to and we can help fix paths. if you move your LB folder to a diff drive than roms and emulators, it's likely you need to fix the paths to the emulators and roms. if you move all three to a different drive, keeping all the paths exactly the same as they were on the first drive, just having a drive letter that is different, it's likely everything will just work without any changes. make a copy of your Data folder before you start changing xml files.
