      @@JoeP_387 I believe there is a portable version you can download. And all you would have to do is just copy the installation folder onto the new pc.

      @@JoeP_387 best practice: take a flash drive ( the larger gigabyte, the better) and make it portable… this way you can copy it many times over. It is important to put the roms/game/metadata within the appropriate folders. Once you set up Playnite and configure it how you want, you can just transfer (copy & paste) the files over to another flash drive. Also, a good controller to use is an Xbox controller. PlayNite is awesome and easy to set up, but I just started messing with Retrobat last month, which is an easy to set up with many visual elements, also can be put on a thumb drive

    Gonna try this latter today. Trying other front ends to see which one I like better. I've had Big Box/Launch Box for since 2020 and I like it, but I see other front ends and like them a lot. Eventually, I will make an arcade machine with a front end build. Thanks for all your videos. Straight to the point and great communication!
