MAME History XML not updating

[Joe35car]

As the title states seems like this is no longer showing the newest updates. It's stuck on .275 and it should have update option. Newest is .277

Can you add a little more clarity on this please?  LaunchBox doesn't innately use MAME's history.xml nor update this file.  Also, that file doesn't come with MAME's installer.

You can download it here:   https://www.arcade-history.com/

Yes but you added it as a plugin like the mame commands, mame gameinit. Those update. The history would update to when you select it. Stopped at 275. Cant upload a pic to show you because the server is down on the site.

Are you talking about the MAME DATs Viewer plugin?  If so, you need to leave a comment on the plugins Download page or its Support page.  If you click on the Info icon in the plugin, there's a direct link to it's support page. 

This forum section is for LaunchBox features (vs. third party plugins).
