you can copy the whole gameex Directory to another pc, but make sure you install gameex onto the second pc then replace the gameex directory with the one from the first pc,

what if they are different versions?

It takes time, but what I did was export/import all my emulators. I think thats what you're looking for. It's fairly easy, just time consuming. Going through the Configurator, each emulator now has the option to EXPORT the settings to an ini file you save somewhere. Then after you reinstall GameEx someplace else, just IMPORT the saved ini file and you're good to go. You may have to recheck the settings though incase the game locations changed (different folders for the game, art, etc).

I don't know how far back this option exists, but it's been a while. You may have a recent enough version that has this. If not, you may just have to try what Michael suggests. The worse that could happen is that it won't work. Just don't delete/remove your original folder until you know for sure it works.

It dosn't matter if there different versions, here would be the process of copying GameEx from one machine to another..

1. Copy your GameEx directory from your source machine to media (eg. memory stick)

2. Install GameEx on your destination machine

3. Copy the GameEx directory from your memory stick over the newly installed GameEx on the destination machine.

4. Run an update for GameEx on the destination machine. It should keep your config and update it.

You could of course update GameEx on the source machine before you do setp 1 and you wouldn't need to do step 4 on the destination machine to update it.
