craiganderson Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hello, I need to update my MAME roms/emulator. Stupid Question: Do I need to download each sequential update of Roms since my Version or just the most recent (ie each new update includes the previous)? thanks craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfancella Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Hello,I need to update my MAME roms/emulator. Stupid Question: Do I need to download each sequential update of Roms since my Version or just the most recent (ie each new update includes the previous)? thanks craig I would check the size of the download. Usually an update is just for that version. The update for .158 is for moving from .157 to .158 and the roms should be around 16mb. The chd's should be around 770mb. Hope this helps. Thanks, Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigapig Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 If it's been a while your better off pointing the whole new set to your old set and have your torrent client verify then only download what's missing or different. If you're unsure I did a video about how to do it. You should then check the Roms against the correct dat using Clrmamepro. I know I should but I don't usually bother with that step.

Agrajag Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 If you point the new torrent at your existing files it will download whatever has been added/moved/renamed. You can then use Torrentcheck to delete any junk left over from the previous version. But really, learning how to update properly shouldn't be hard. There are step by step guides for clrmamepro that you can follow without needing to be an expert in all its advanced features. Failing that, using Romvault is a walk in the park - just watch the instruction video and you'll see! http://www.romvault.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kondorito Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 If a game gets the name updated from one version to the next one (i.e. romname.zip > romname1.zip), when downloading the update pack, you will get the entire game under romname1.zip, or how can the user know which game gets the name changed? Or maybe I am getting all this wrong, and parent roms never have their set name changed (so if a new dump is created it takes the original set name, and the previous one gets renamed)?

skpManiac Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I tried CLRMame but it moved all my zips and made new 7Z files - I gave up with it as I thought I had configured it wrongWith the MAME Roms, I download the latest big pack - 0161 in the last case and then update each update pack in the order of release up to 0171I can point you to the files if you need them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
