question how do you guys update your mame rome sets if you already have afull rom ret installed? do we cpmpletely delete mame ( Arcade ) platform then reinport fresh rome set and let launchbox update mame automaticly? 

or do we replace the roms in the mame roms folder then scan for added roms to arcade platform, then updating mame emulator sepretly?  whats the best way to not lose artwork and settings? thank you guys in advace for any input on this. its been bugging me.  ive been doing a full delete of mame then reinporting mame full rom set from scratch. ive bzcked up my artwork first then re move it to image folders after inport. but then i lose all the mering or same game roms/ games ive done and stuff like that. somre game are named incorrectly so ive gone in and fixed those but upon reinporting fresh mame i have to do all that again. 

I keep a full non-merged set and update monthly.  And from the same folder, have a curated set of games imported into LaunchBox.  After a MAME update, I read through whatsnew.txt to see if there's anything new I feel should be added. If there is, I just manually import those ROMs to LaunchBox.

I see that's a way to do it for sure.
