Cineaste Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 My emulators and roms are stored outside the Launchbox directory. Is there a way to merge them and bulk-edit the file paths so that my installation becomes portable? What about PCSX2, Dolphin, etc. that also rely on external folders (i.e. Documents)? Can they be portable at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for your first question, you can try editing the xml file where your emulators are stored but it's fairly easy to just move your emulators and repoint Launchbox to them, take a few minutes at most depending on how many you have.

Interesting, I didn't know about the blank text document. Will look into that. I suppose I could always re-map the emulators but wouldn't each rom have to be reconfigured also?

Yeah, you are only changing the path, not the actual emulator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
