Should I be rescanning or something after updates?

[Slag-O-Matic]

I've been running LaunchBox/BigBox for several months (started at version 12.something) with great success and just recently applied the 13.2 update.

In addition to the LB/BB updates, are there other things that I should be doing to keep my system/collection up-to-date and otherwise looking/working good? I have about 20 consoles (+MAME) set up with large collections of games in each and it works well for the most part. Should I be "refreshing" these consoles for whatever reason? Like at one point I remember an update that gave my MAME collection "screen graphics" (not sure of the correct terminology; the graphics that are normally printed on the plexiglass on either side of the screen at the arcade). After I apply a LB/BB update, should I be running any kind of "refresh metadata" or something? And/or doing an update process to the console emulators I have set up?

If you are happy with the way things are working, then there's never really a need to update anything.

If you do end up updating LaunchBox, there shouldn't be any reason to update your metadata or run any of the other tools in LaunchBox.
