Moving platforms from one system to another


Recommended Posts

Hello, I have a drive from another system that has a bunch of comics on it that I would like to import into another system.  I would like to import it and have it show up on my system EXACTLY as it is on the other systems.  I am trying to maintain all of the platform category information, images, etc.  I moved the ROMS, images and emulator over and imported everything into my system.  The platform category info is not retained and I am also having issues with images.  I am sure there is an easy way to "mirror" a platform to a new system but I do not know how...  Attached are screenshots showing the system I am trying to import from and how clean it is and then another image of the mess my system is currently in when just importing.  These are a bunch of comics so if I cannot "mirror" it then I would have to manually build a library for every comic book series which would take weeks if not months...  There has to be an easy way to copy this and retain all of the organization.  Any help with this is appreciated.

You can just copy the platform file from \\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms from one build to another. Then copy the image folder from one build to another (\\LaunchBox\Images\Comics). Do this with LaunchBox closed. Then start it up.
