Moving my LB/BB and all games and media to a new hard drive. New paths/directories?

Hi everyone

I want to move my LB/BB and all my games and media to a new hard-drive but I am not sure what paths/directories would then need to be updated/changed in order to get everything working. Can anyone please advise me on the best way of doing this?

Many thanks!

The answer to your question varies greatly depending on your setup. LaunchBox is an entirely portable app and moving it only requires copy the folder the a new location. If your games aren't in the LaunchBox folder after doing so you will want to select the games by platform and in the Tools menu there is a menu item to change the rom path (believe in the File Management submenu). You can use that to point LB to where the roms are now located.

I have all my games in a "Games" folder, within LaunchBox. In this case, would it simply be moving the whole LaunchBox folder to the new drive and then all games and media would work correctly? Thanks
