KingsmanZer0 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Hi guys new to this just have some questions before i purchase lb bb. I want my LB to be portable and but also with good loading times so would it be good to put LB files emulator/video/images on an external SSD and roms on a hdd? would that have better load times then me just putting everything on the external HDD? what would be the best set up for portable but with good load times?

C-Beats Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 LaunchBox itself is portable, but to make your collection portable you need to make sure all paths are relative which cannot happen if your roms are on a different drive than the LaunchBox executable. Big Box does work much better running of an SSD simply because load times for all the media is much faster. If you're going for portability + performance then yeah an SSD works best. You CAN split up your collection so that LaunchBox and Big Box sit on an SSD but the roms sit on a HDD but then you'd lose true portability. When moving to a new machine you'd need to make the sure the HDD was connected to the same drive letter as it was in the first machine.
