Im wondering one more thing, If all of my launch box games are in the launch box folder. (Which they are.) Then wolud the directorys get messed up therfore i have to reimport all my games because the games wolud be in the same folders kinda but not the same drive?

if your roms are located inside of the LaunchBox Games folder then your build should be totally portable. Also if your roms are outside of the LB folder but on the same drive as the LB build then the same should apply as long as you are keeping your ROMs and LB on the same drive and finally if your LB build and your ROMs are on different drives and your move your ROMs to a new drive then you have to just make sure that you give that drive the identical drive letter and keep the same exact folder structure then that will still work. Its actually pretty hard to mess it up.

Worst case scenario, just rename the drive letter to what it currently is.
