I want to update my set, i have the update pack.

eg 0-.71 -> 0.72

Now according to what i have read.. i need to use clrmamepro and point my mame.exe for 0.71 and mame 0.72 this would give me a dat file in order to do the updating..

Only think is i have searched high and low on google for version 7.1 of the mame exe and i can't find one.. well did find one but couldn't download the damn thing...you'd have though mame.net would have that version...but there prvious versions only go up to 0.69! and current version 0.81

Why can't i just copy the contents in the pack over the ones currently in my rom dir is this bad, it just seems obvious thing to do to me ;)

I mean i presumbe there is a reason for using this clrmamepro, i don't want to ruin my painstainkly carefully collected collection ;)

cheers!
 
are you talking about rom packs? or mame release... I'm not too sure

But I've downloaded the rom packs and just extract the whole damn lot to the roms directory, if it finds a duplicate, just tell it to overwrite. once in mame, do a refresh and BOOM.... metal slug 9 now playable....
