How to backup settings

[alnyden]

Hi,

As a Mac person, I'm not too familiar with where files are kept in Windows. If I wanted to backup GameEx (menu settings, emulator settings, etc.) what files and folders would I need?

Thanks for any help!

Best,

Rich

If you copy the entire GameEx folder over and then download and run the installer you should be golden.

The GameEx install goes on the root of the C: drive like this:

C:/GameEx

Make sure you update all your emulator and rom paths after the install as your drive letter may change.

If you need help we're here for ya.

The default location of the GameEx folder is "C:\Program Files\GameEx". If you install it elsewhere and can't remember where, you can just right click on the GameEx program icon in the start menu and select properties. It will tell you the correct path.

For me, it installed to the root of C: when I wiped my cab and started over a few months ago. I think that's the "new" default location, but if Tom Frequency could confirm that...

Interesting! Well, I haven't installed a fresh copy in a LONG time, so you would certainly have more recent experience than me.

That is correct! The default location is "C:\GameEx" as of 10.62. The details on that can be found here.
