Is my Launchbox installation portable?

[51mm5]

Hi There

 

This maybe a noob question.  I have my Launchbox installation along with emulators and roms on its own dedicated external drive, however I have the emulators and rom in separate folders and not under the Launchbox installation folder.  By not having the emulators and rom under the Launchbox folder does that mean my installation is not truly portable?   As it is, could I not just take the drive to another PC and play games from another PC?  I guess what I'm getting at, is the an advantage to having everything in the Launchbox folder?

BTW I'm using Win10

You should still be fine, as long as you use the same drive letter on the other PC. For example if your emulators are currently in D;\Emulators, then Launchbox wont find them if you plug the drive into another PC and it assigns the drive the letter E:, as the path word now be E:\Emulators.

We use relative pathing so if the roms/emulators are on the same external drive as the LaunchBox install it should all work fine. Relative pathing should effectively tell the computer something like, "Go back 3 folders, then look for this folder path from that spot". It shouldn't be using drive letter at all if the two items are on the same drive.
