Game files/roms location help

[midd]

I’m not sure if I’m missing something or if it’s a bug in LB.

initially my LB build and roms were all on the same drive, L:.  As my collection grew, I moved Launchbox to an SSd and kept the games on L:.  I made the redirections in LB, but for some reason it didn’t change everything.

 

For example, Neo Geo Cd, under “Manage platforms” the games folder is showing correctly as shown in the pic.

but when I go to the platform in LB all the games are unavailable.

so I select a game, select edit, edit metadata and choose Launching, this is what I’m seeing.

Now I know about changing the roms folder under tools. I just don’t know why it has to be done.

also for non-rom games such as .exe run games, how do I go about changing that folder?

You need to use the menu Item in the Tools menu you're referring to change the paths on games already imported in your collection. Only thing the platforms game folder is for is to let the "Scan for Added ROMs" where to look for new games.

ok, I have been doing that.  Just thought there was another way.  What about the .exe games?  The Tools menu option only works with Roms?

[C-Beats]

Yeah, you may be right in that it only works for emulated titles. I'd have to look into the code and verify that. This feature was in before I joined the team and I haven't had to modify it ever so no entirely sure of all it's inner workings.
