32assassin Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 1 at a time, Unless you are on dial up or in any of the many Countries that bills your internet by the data usage. you are better of deleting your set and getting the latest set. you can download the latest torrent, and do a torrent check on your current files. You can save more than 50% of your current files. I only do major updates or 1 every few months, and after a force recheck of my files I usally end up downloading 1-4 Gigs of the 50+ Gigs.

griffin518 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I think what's he's asking is whether he can just go grab the latest set, or whether he has to get 0.166, then 0.167, etc. You have the answer later in your reply, however, the best way to go about this is to just get the latest set. There's no need to upgrade incrementally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32assassin Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I understood what he is asking. and you still have to do it one by one. as each update pack can contain roms the later version does may not have. you have to get each upgrade pack 165 to 166 update 166 to 167 update 167 to 168 update 168 to 169 update ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were me, I'd just download the new set in its entirety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ci2own Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 If you have a good internet connection i recommend you to download a complete 0.177 set. if not, just the updates. If you don't know where to get it just send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Agreed, if it's that old dump the lot and start again or dump the old when you have the new working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in a similar situation, I am using a 173 rom set and what to get the latest. My problem is that I have removed a lot of the non game roms and I don't know if a good way to update having done this. What is torrent check (I've heard of it but can't find info on it) and how do I find it so I can use it. I am assuming I will need to redo the removal of all the BS I don't want in my roms database.
