Two mgalaxy setups, one medias/roms folder

Hi, I'm using two different setups of emulators (one for 15khz old screens and one for 31khz LCDs) and so I was thinking of using two mgalaxy setups (one for each) but I'd like to share the medias (roms, snap, videos & databases) between the two of them, is that possible?

Thanks.

I think is still possible with the actual version, It s a portable version so you can install 1 version and just make a copy/paste with the complete folder.

Yes that's what I've done but then you cannot share the save states and it takes some gigaoctet for nothing, I was more the idea of really sharing the roms and medias between the two installations...

I'm not sure to understand! If you copy/paste the mGalaxy folder, so having a (renamed) "mGalaxy_15KHz" and "mGalaxy_31KHz" folder, you won't have to duplicate the roms/snaps/video folders!!
mGalaxy will have path to those folders...that's the only thing needed!

Hummm confused... Sorry I just realized that you are right and it's working out of the box... Sorry I still don't get my own point.  :o
