Title: Maximus Arcade - Where are settings held? + HDD Replacement Question
Post by: OtakuArcade on February 17, 2016, 05:21:37 pm

Hey all,

I have been using Maximus Arcade for a while now and as Street Fighter V just came out I wanted to see if my arcade could handle it.

My question is i'm currently using Windows Vista 32bit and the game requires Win7 64bit. I'm happy to do the change but i've spent a lot of time mapping everything the way I want it, my 2 questions are as follows.
1. Where are all Maximus Arcade settings stored? If I just copy the Maximus Arcade folder to USB then back onto my new OS, will it run and store all data? i.e. inputs, game paths etc etc?
2. My other solution was to use another HDD and just run a fresh install off there, however due to to size of my cab i'd rather not use 2 HDD and dual boot, if I was to simply UNPLUG the old one and plug in the new HDD and then find out I want to stick with the old one, will it just work again? Or would some data be corrupted etc and i'd have to do a fresh boot again anyway?

Thanks in advance, looks like a great community here.

all you should have to do is point maximus to the correct paths again.

It should not take too long to get all your paths setup, but what about favorites?  Setting those up again would be a pain, so it may be useful to know where those are stored.  I will take a look in the Maximus directory tonight when I get home from work. 

I will be swapping out my cabinet computer soon so this information will be helpful to me as well.  Would be awesome if Maximus allowed you to backup your overall settings profile online.  But thats unlikely to happen :)

it may be hard codes but everything is within the maximus arcade folder(s) a direct cut & past should bring all maximus settings with it. the only issue would be the paths not matching the new computer as certain letter drives may be different. but I believe favorites list should stay intact.
