zeroyear27 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Hi there, I would like to upgrade my merged MAME 0.209 rom set to 0.218. Big jump, I know. Would the best way for me to do this is to basically download the whole 0.218 rom set, delete the old rom set and metadata? I'm using MAME 2016 core in Retroarch to run my MAME roms. For some reason, I don't remember the MAME64.exe file being able to run the roms. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 yeah I would definitely get the new set instead of updating all of those versions. To be honest 0.219 is two days late on being released I would just wait for that and grab that set when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroyear27 Posted February 28, 2020 Author Share Posted February 28, 2020 Ok; I would have to delete the meta data right? Otherwise it would duplicate once I import the new rom set right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 If you reimport using the full set importer it should import the games again but not add any new duplicates so it should be fine to leave all the metadata for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadVoivod Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 (edited) I would just overwrite the old set, as the game names remain exactly the same. Although from 209 to 219 more stuff could have changed. I went through the whole set, mine is 210, and kept only the games I want, actually still quite many, and I won’t change anymore, don’t really bother if some game has been added or updated, as they all work fine. Messing around can unfortunately cause problems, problems that I don’t necessarily have the time for to fix ?
