Upgrading MAME


moudrost

Recommended Posts

I have v229 imported and been using fine since it came out. I would like to upgrade to v233 and don't see a recommended way to do this. Should I delete the entire Arcade platform and import MAME again fresh (which I had been doing, but normally don't upgrade very often). Or, can I import on top of the existing one and maybe look for removed games? I just want to make sure I'm doing this the smartest way. I can only find tutorials on importing a new set, not dealing with existing sets.

Just rerun the importer, being sure to point at your new roms folder as well as your new mame.exe.

Will it have to download any of the existing media from launchbox and/or emumovies?

Not if you uncheck it all in the wizard, you already have 99% of it, you can manually run it after on the new games, that dont have any media yet after the import.
