Importing Rocketlauncher/Hyperspin to Launchbox/BigBox

Hello all, I have a beautiful Hyperspin setup on a drive that I would love to migrate to LB entirely. LB is much simpler for me to use and update. I have scoured the net but cant find a simple way to migrate my Rocketlauncher to Launchbox. Is this even possible? If so, what is the process? Is there any Third party SW?  I would love LB to have an option to import Rocketlauncher to LB. Thx for your help.

You just need to manually add it. 

Just set up an emulator call it whatever you want  and then add the following to the "Default Command Line Parameters": 

-f "%launchboxorbigboxexepath%" -p "LaunchBox" -s "%platform%" -r

You may need to add the corresponding systems (exact name of platforms in Launchbox that will use RL) in the "Associated Platforms Tab". I am not 100% sure on this as I think it is not needed for RocketLauncher.

At least, this is how I last knew it to be done. I have not touched RL in years. Not worth it to me.

Is this going to migrate the data from RL over to LB? I dont want to use RL anymore. Im just a little confused. 

No. I thought you simply meant using RL inside LB to run the games. Not sure how to migrate RL data. When I chose to make LB my main frontend I just set it all up from scratch so everything was within LB/BB parameters to not have any odd hiccups.

I just did this. I keep my roms and emulators in my Hyperspin folder but made a new folder called Launchbox and point that to my roms and emulators in Hyperspin. I can use either or this way and both work great. I was going to delete Hyperspin but heard there is some development going on now with Hyperspin so I will wait.

There should be a spot within RL to point it to Launchbox.  Then It looks for everything in Launchbox's folders, and from Launchbox you create the emulator "RocketLauncher", and point it to your RL, and it should all work together.  If you want to message me, I can get exact details of it tomorrow for you.
