stutee Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I currently have a complete MAME 0.201 split set working great in Launchbox. I have recently used clrmamepro to create a new set of 0.208 non-merged ROMs in a separate directory. Now I want to update Launchbox to use the new MAME emulator and ROM set but I'm not sure how to go about this. It's pretty easy to modify the emulator to point to the newer MAME version but I'm not sure how to handle the ROMs. I don't want to lose any customizations (like favorites, play counts, ratings, etc.) so I don't want to delete everything and re-import from the new ROM location. Does anyone have any guidance on the best way to do this? Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil9000 Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Also uncheck all the media downloads as you already have 99% of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stutee Posted April 7, 2019 Author Share Posted April 7, 2019 Will this update already existing ROMs to the new location? Ideally I want to delete the old ROMs directory so I don't have to keep 2 full ROM/CHD sets on my machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will also need to tell MAME itself the new location also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
