Hi guys.

One question. I want to export 2 platforms (Sega Genesis and Sega Master system) from my friend LB to my LB. He got them all sorted plus add additional images, descriptions and videos. I dont want to sort it by myself I Just want to copy those 2 platforms to my LB. I know i have to copy image, videos, manualna and all that platform folders from his LB to my, but what about XML files? Which one i should copy. Note that i have all Nintendo platform sorted in my LB and he des not have them in his LB, and i don't want to lose platforms that i have in my LB. I Just want to add this two particular platforms from him. 

Please let me know what XML files i should copy and if that copy action is possible to proceed.

If I am understanding you correctly you can just copy the platform xmls from \Data\Platforms

I recently did this for a couple of platforms from my full setup to my stripped down "No Filler" setup. I had to bulk edit the emulator for it but it was all there, though your friend will also most likely have to bulk edit the rom path (depending on where his roms are located) as well but that is simple enough using Tools > Change ROMs Folder Path,

Ok thanks a lot lord. 

So i only have to copy Sega Genesis and Sega Master system xmls from data/platform folder to my LB catalog. I was warried that there some other XML files containing info about all the platforms i have in LB i Will have to copy/paste some data to them. 

Configuring emulator and Puting a right patch to games folder is easy enough So this Will not be a problem. 

Thanks again.
