MartinC Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi guys, I recently downloaded the ColPipes1978's huge collection, it is really awsome. But since I already have my own collection, with some platforms, I am interested in migrate games from that collection to mine. I thought that it would be as easy as copy games and platform config XML files (from Data folder), but that did not work. Even more, when I tried to restore my files and games, those are unusable too. I assume LaunchBox is modifying some other files, but I can't find which ones. And sincerely, do a full backup from my LB folder and try by test and error is a waste of time, so I thought that would be better ask for help here. Anyone tried that in the past and can help me? Thanks a lot in advance, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot in advance, Martin We do not support unofficial builds here on the official forums. However he does use rocketlauncher to launch all games, so if you didnt copy that, and edit every single path to roms and emulators in it, then yeah it wont work and break everything.

MartinC Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Hi Neil9000, and thanks for reply. I don't understand what you mean with unofficial builds. The correct way would be importing the roms to my build? that would be the correct way to avoid everything will be break?

damageinc86 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 If you are just wanting to take some games from that collection and add them to yours, then just use the standard add/import function in launchbox and have it use those files.

Thanks Damageinc86, I am doing exactly that right now. That way I think I will have all the games imported to my collection and avoid to break anything Cheers!
