Drybonz Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Was a simple method ever added to LB to change rom paths for every game in a platform... for instance if you put the roms on a different drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Yes, in the Tools dropdown menu, "Change ROMS Folder Path". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 It seems like, when I use this option, it wants me to wipe the platform and re-import everything and start over. Is there a way to change the rom path and LB keep the platform as-is and just launch from the new location? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 ah what makes you say it wants you to reimport anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Probably I'm doing something wrong... but when I run that option, then the roms are removed from the platform because they are in a new location, so I had to do a re-import. So, I'm just asking if there's a better way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 yeah nothing should be removed from the platforms so that is definitely weird. Did you manually move the games first and then change the path? (although I would thing that wouldn't cause it to remove games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 Yeah, I had to move all the roms to a new drive... that was already done before I started this process. I assumed that is how most people would probably go about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that is how most people would probably go about it. The rom change option should not ask you to re-import. The only way a game get removed from a platform is if you delete it or you edit the platform name it is tied to. Highlight all the games you want to change the path for the choose >Tools>Change Roms Folder Path for Selected games. It will show you how man you selected and the new path you are choosing. It even tells you to make sure you already moved the roms. Next if it finds that some of the games you are trying to change are not found in the new path it will let you know to allow you to choose to continue or not otheerwise it just proceeds if all games are there. Then it confirms how many game it did change the path for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Thanks for all the replies... I got this working. Not sure what was causing my initial problems, but luckily they weren't repeating. So, it would be nice if this same feature worked with disc games. It seems like all it would need to work would be to look in subfolders and look for .cue files. Maybe that can be added at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
