Using LaunchBox on Two Laptops

I've currently got LB setup on two devices a Laptop in the Living Room and one in the Bedroom 

Probably a silly question but can i link those different Laptop installs and play the same games on each and play from the same save files ?

i am currently using the free version but will be buying the license once everything is setup and working correctly i am having afew issues with the controllers i'm using an xbox x and a nintendo pro pad where sometimes the pad isn't recognised and it goes into fallback. The games mostly work though and rebooting controller usually solves the issue.

I use Syncthing to to keep the same setup on both of my PC's. It works like a dream for what I need.

You sync the entire install folder  from one computer to the other ?

 

as i've already got two laptops setup i wonder whether it would better to delete one then hmmm 

 

thanks for the suggestion

Yes, I sync my entire Launchbox folder. I have one PC in my office that I use to manage my games, and then one upstairs on my TV where I use Bigbox to play. When I set it up I just pointed the syncing to my existing setup and it grabs everything and mirrors it on the other PC. If you like you could also just sync your saves or other folders if that would be easier for you.

I believe i've done it very easy once you get your head around naming folders and skipping between laptops

hmmm i wonder if you can do this for other emulators RYU or Yuzu etc 

i think you can tell i haven't used syncthing before  quite interesting to see what can be done has great posibilities 

thanks again 

update the answer is yes thats excellent
