Changing location of .emulationstation folder #616

I have been running emulation station with various emulators on my PC for a number of years. I have recently upgraded my PC and have just begun setting everything up on the new set up. On my previous PC my C:\ drive was a 1TB HDD so I had plenty of space for ROMs and emulators but now I have an SSD as my C:\ and it has filled up due to the amount of ROMs and ISOs. I have attempted to cut the whole ".EmulationStation" folder to my G:\ drive, which went fine but now I am unable to access any of my systems or ROMs. It is a problem with the "es_systems.cfg" file, but I'm not sure how to edit it to account for the error. I have attempted to replace %HOMEPATH% with %G:%\, ~G:\ etc. The file path for ROMs and systems respectively should be simply G:.emulationstation\systems\etc and G:.emulationstation\roms\console\title. Am I making an error in syntax here or do I actually have to modify something to change the %HOMEPATH%, if anybody could point me in the right direction it'd be amazing, thanks in advance guys! Edit: heres my whole file path for PS2 as taken from my "es_systems" file

ps2 Playstation 2 ~\G:.emulationstation\roms\ps2 .iso .ISO .cue .CUE .BIN .bin .mds .MDS ~\G:.emulationstation\systems\PCSX2\PCSX2\pcsx2.exe "%ROM_RAW%" ps2 ps2
