So... ive not used my arcade machine in a while and wanted to play. It kept pestering me to update which I cancelled.

 

I went to open launchxox and it asked me again, I must have I accidentally said yes then cancelled right away and existed the wizard.. it has seemingly deleted my core folder but the rest of my files seem there.

 

Wtf? How do I restore now? Do I need to resinstall? Have I lost all my settings as it was alot of work?

Run the installer from the Launchbox/Updates folder and install directly over the top of your current build.

Thanks this worked. I did get an error however after the install it came up and said it was reported to dev team etc, A simple restarted and its all working again :)

THanks for your help, also noticed the backups folder, so im going to keep an extra backup of the entire launchbox folder on auto just to ensure i have a backup in future of all the media and settings incase of HDD failure etc.
