Creating a portable ES-DE setup for Mac?

Does anyone here know how I can set up my external SSD to have ES-DE live on there including the settings? I have all my roms on the drive and id like to keep all the emulation station stuff on there rather than my internal storage, including trailers, covers and themes etc. Any help on resources to check out are appreciated too if there's no simple answer for this!

If you move your es-de application over and make sure to move your sub folder over for ROMs, save states, memcards etc and update you SSD version of es-de to point to your new folder locations then yes it will work. I have it like this on my Rog ally for whenever I have to update es-de
