Sync game entries/media/metadata between two LBs.

Hi, I am looking to sync two instances of LB for just the gamelist/metadata/media only.  Each PC has its own set of emulators that are already configured appropriately.   Is there a DB/Config File that I could just sync from one PC to the other?  I was hoping to just copy that over as well as the new media files when newly added games were imported.

To preface here is my current setup

  • NAS with Games - Accessible by PC-A and PC-B
  • Launchbox lives on PC-A locally.
  • Launchbox lives on PC-B locally.
  • Emulators on PC-A are all configured for PC-A and live locally.
  • Emulators on PC-B are all configured for PC-B and live locally.
  • Paths for games/roms are all the same.

My goal is to automatically have a sync between the two.  If I update a platform with a new game on PC-A with a new game/metadata I would like this to seamlessly update it on PC-B as well.

All your data is stored in the \\LaunchBox\Data folder and as long as the paths used by your ROMs and Emulators are the same relative path in both then you should be able to simply sync that folder between builds. Media is by default in the Images and Videos subfolder and should be able to be synced as well.
