Re-Import Mame ROMS...metadata question.

Recommended Posts

So I forgot to properly filter out a bunch of games and want to re-import the ROMS but with a  properly filtered and playlisted option (I didnt use the Mame importer and just used the normal import ROMS option).   I am assuming the only way to filter out what I have imported so far is to do it manually or just start over.

Can I re-import without losing the metadata downloads, or will it spend the 12-18+ hours again downloading?

Any tips before I do something dumb?

You need the actual metadata, but you can uncheck all media as you already have it.
