Aha, that now makes sense to me. Wasn't aware that anyone would do it that way but I can see now the benefit of doing so. Thanks for the reply.

This is a great tutorial, however I am thoroughly confused about certain things: I thought that the tutorial is aimed at scanning/fixing and then rebuilding existing Rom set 0.170 into a new rom set 0.171. I’m assuming therefore that before your start, you have an existing MAMEUIFX 0.170 installation, containing the 0.170 full romset in the /roms folder. So if your tutorial is aimed at updating to a new romset of 0.171, surely you must also have the MAMEUIFX 0.171 emulator installed as well, with its own folder structure and currently empty /roms folder? If so, shouldn’t your tutorial show how to “REBUILD” from the source of /MAMEUIFX-0.170/ roms folder into /MAMEUIFX-0.171/ roms folder?? Because from my understanding, your tutorial has scanned/fixed your existing 0.170 romset and then updated it using “REBUILDER” to 0.171 romset. But the updated roms are surely still present in your 0.170 /roms folder? Do you then simply copy the updated roms to your 0.171 /roms folder or what
