Sure.
Depending on how you build your RetroArch playlist, you may need to find-and-replace some entries in it.
For example, if you're using the built-in scanner it will create explicit paths, but you may want relative paths for portability reasons. Like C:\\Users\\Anon\RetroArch\\ROMs versus .\\Roms. One hardcodes the rom path, while the other tells RetroArch to look for a rom folder in its own directory. The latter makes RetroArch playlists portable, while the former means that if you move RA to another PC or device, playlist functionality will break. I always use relative paths in my playlists, as I zip up my RA install, upload it, then share it with friends for netplay. Then the user can just unzip and play - no configuration required.
Same thing goes for core path entries. Depending on how you built your playlist, you may have to change the core path to .\\cores to ensure portability (RA uses json format for playlists so you need two backslashes instead of one just fyi)

Making these alterations takes only a few seconds in Notepad++ by using the find-and-replace function. And if you have several playlists that all need their paths changed, you can simply open all of them in Notepad++ at once and apply the changes globally.

One last tip about RA and portability. Shader presets use explicit paths by default, so if you want to move your install or share it with others and you have shader presets, open those up in N++ and change the explicit paths to relative ones.
