LaunchBox Custom Copier

Hi,

I created a small Windows tool that allows you to build a customized copy of your LaunchBox setup by selecting only the platforms you want to keep.

The goal is simple: reduce size, organize your collection, and create portable LaunchBox builds (for external drives, backups, or dedicated setups).

How it works:

• Select your LaunchBox folder (source)

• Choose a destination folder

• Pick the platforms you want

• The tool calculates the total size (games + media)

• Start the copy process

What gets copied:

• Games

• Images

• Videos

• Manuals

• Music

Only the selected platforms are included. Everything is reorganized automatically into a clean structure. The games are copied to the Launchbox\Games\Platform. The configuration files are modified with the new path. Optimized for emulator games with a single file or with .cue and m3u files. For other types of games (Windows and others), which contain multiple files, you will need to copy them manually.

Game handling:

• Supports single-file formats (ISO, CHD, RVZ, etc.)

• Supports M3U playlists (multi-disc games)

• Supports CUE files and their referenced tracks

• Automatically includes all required files

• Avoids duplicates during size calculation

Additional features:

• Estimating size before copying

• Automatic update of ApplicationPath in platform XML files

• Preserves all other LaunchBox data and configuration

• Does not modify the original LaunchBox installation

The result is a fully independent LaunchBox setup containing only what you selected.
This tool is especially useful if you want a smaller, optimized LaunchBox build for emulation setups or storage-limited environments.
There is no progress bar, but the 2nd window indicates the folder being copied.
