Help with transfer of MAME Game Notes

Hey everyone... I'm wondering if someone might be able to point me in the right direction here. I recently did a clean install of Launchbox on my Windows PC and populated it with my MAME Roms from an external hard drive where I was previously running Launchbox. I was able to successfully transfer all of my configuration files including the cfg, ini, and ctrl files and it's all working perfectly. The one thing that I have not been able to do is to bring over the notes that I had previously added to many of my MAME games. It's not the end of the world if I cannot get those, but I figured that someone here may be able to tell me what I have to move over to the PC where I am now running the system so that I can have those notes again. Thank you so much in advance!

You could try this plugin.  Just need an accessible copy of your original Arcade (MAME Games) platform's xml file.
e.g. ../LaunchBox/Data/Platforms/Arcade.xml (from the other PC)

I presume it still works. It's 3 years old and has only 4 comments and 1 review. But they're all good and I'm optimistic. B|
