Emulator path

[Former user]

Hi! Where did I have to put the emulator folder for portability? I choose to move the roms in the Launchbox's folders, but I miss this thing for emulator (I use retroarch). I would like to install retroarch on an extrrnal drive, for using it everywhere and I don't know where to put the retroarch folder. Maybe launch box detect the emulator automatically? Thank you

Just so you know, the forums are more helpful than the BitBucket page.

Also, you can setup your emulators anywhere you want, and your games where ever you want. As long as their file path doesn't change, LaunchBox can be anywhere. For example I have LaunchBox on my E drive and all my emulators and games on my F drive. As long as I don't move the games or emulators we're fine. If I put my hard drive in another computer, I just need to change my drive letter to F to match the LaunchBox XML. Even if you moved roms from lets say F:\ to D:\, but the folders past that path are the same, you can even use Notepad++ to edit the drive letter and replace all instances of it. So LaunchBox does offer some flexibility. But it does not detect any games or emulators on its own.
