Portable Version of Launchbox

[tallpr24]

I have a working launchbox setup on my windows 10 pc.  everything works great.  is there a way to copy everything to a usb drive and have everything work off the usb drive?

My son has a laptop in his room, and I would love if I he could just plug in a hard drive and have him up and running.  He takes his laptop to his grandmothers house from time to time, and this would be so perfect if it could run off the drive.

Absolutely. Here's a pretty good tutorial that shows how to do it also:

the problem is, i have all my roms in a "roms" folder on a seperate hard drive.  how can i tell launchbox that the roms are now in a usb drive? will i have to re scrape everything?

[tallpr24]

so launchbox was installed in c drive but all roms are in h: drive in the path h:\roms\

[tallpr24]

same thing with emulators, i have them all under c:/emulators

Change the letter assigned to the USB drive to H: on his laptop, so it mounts it as such when attached. (Do this in Disk Management)

You can but do not include your license file or it may end up black listed and no longer functioning.

now i have another issue.

i getting "ou've specified does not exist"

for some reason non of my super nes roms will launch.  The are all in the same location they have always been and rom names are untouched.  Any Ideas on how to fix this? all other 26 something systems are not affected by this.

I'm really hoping I don't have to re import all the rooms again.
