re-add all my launch box gaes

[xsessive182]

Hello,

I recently had to format my main hard drive that had my windows installation, luckily  my launch box install were on another hardrive (a spare ssd i have)  and my roms are located on another drive(a 3TB gaming hardrive). since my drive letter changed all my roms are unlinked from launchbox, and i wanted to check if theirs a simple way to back as the only thing that changed was the the drive letter,

now many will initially say just change the drive letter to correspond the old path,but i cant change it to it as the prove drive letter is assigned to an sd card reader built to the machine that cant be changed for some reason

you can just change the drive letter back if that's the easiest route?

You can bulk edit your rom location.

Select all the games of a platform and use the Change ROMS Folder tool.

you can change the rom path inside of launchbox.

Yep what @Lordmonkus said, he was to quick for me.

Get notepad++ find all the xml files with location of all your game Ctrl + f and replace old directory with new directory. In my case, my dir is like this I:\retro\Roms\System

 

or I:\Retro\Emulators. So mimic your old directory and switch it.

No need, just change the path like advised above.

hi,

 

I used he change path function but it seems to only work on path were my roms are not separated by folders, can this option be setup lo look in supbfolders as well? i added a pick of an example of my ds library

The best way to deal with that for now is with notepad++ to do a find and replace all with the paths.
