portability? mame, launchbox, rocketlauncher

[leech_hunter]

So I've spent quite a bit of time on setting up MAME, Launchbox, and Rocketlauncher.  My brother in law has taken quite a bit of an interest.  I have MAME, Rocketlauncher, and Launchbox all set up in a folder on my desktop labeled "Arcade".  

 

I'm thinking about duplicating my setup for him for a little gift.  Can I simply copy my "Arcade" folder and give it to him?  Will it work for him to just copy the folder onto his computer and run Launchbox(which calls to Rocketlauncher for bezels and opens MAME)?  I don't recall any of the programs going through an installation where it puts files outside of this "Arcade" folder.

 

Thanks,

To be perfectly honest it is impossible for us to say if your setup would be 100% portable without some reconfiguring on the other end. In theory it could be but it all depends on your emulators and paths and how it is all setup and if there are hard paths or relative paths for the emulators and Rocket Launcher.

Aaah... Yes.  I suppose the file paths would be different on the new computer it gets copied over to...  So when Mame goes looking for it's rompath on my desktop folder... it wont know where the heck that is!
