will it autowork for sub dirs? i.e., completely link the ENTIRE /roms folder to somewhere else, as i have a 4tb ext drive with all roms in sub folders, but could use your method to use retrobat on multiple pcs, but always link /roms to my ext drive...? would be cool to do with NAS, esp for save states and memory card files!! 👍👍
awesomely simple, thanks! is there also a way to create a symlink where you keep the folder on original drive, but also have another folder with additional files for the symlink? ie - if you have the roms/windows folder with games in it, and want to keep the current ones there, but then have a windows/ folder on the X drive with additional windows games.. can you just add a symlink folder to the X drive inside the original drive roms/windows folder and that will work?
The folder can only exist in one place at a time. What you could do is have the ROM folders on the original drive with some games in, but then setup symlinks for individual subfolders.
Thank you. Well explained. That's what I needed.
THANK YOU, I've been looking for an easy on point tutorial for this as I am not good with these stuff but couldn't find any until now
Glad it helped!

Will i be abe to link drive A to B if i ran out of space for games on drive A?
Yes, you will be able to link a ROMs folder on drive A to a ROMs folder on drive B, so all the games sit on drive B but also appear to be on drive A.
