Export to Android without Game Files

[Zooltie]

Is it at all possible to export LaunchBox to Android without copying the Game Files? (i.e.. Platform XMLs only)

I already have all my systems setup on LaunchBox Android but there appears to no way to scrape for videos locally on Android. I'm ideally looking to export the system XMLs only, as they point each game to the correct video.

The only workaround I found was to use Robocopy to copy my games folders structure / dummy files, delete the games folder after the export and edit the XML files to use the existing games directory. This is time-consuming and still doesn't take into account the original folder structure I use for my games. I suppose a re-scrape will point them to the correct paths.

Would be great if there was an easier way to do this.

Let me know if you guys have any easier workarounds or if I missed something.

Thanks in advance!

You can copy whatever files you want to your device; you don't have to copy the ROM files if you have them some other way. I think though I responded to you in another thread, so I'm not sure that you're going to be able to do exactly what you're looking to do.
