Replacing the ROM's themselves probably won't, but if you change versions of MAME, the high scores and save states most likely won't work with any other version with what you already had. If you're not changing MAME versions though, there'd be no reason to replace them with newer ones.

gurnie:

I probably should have made this clearer before:  I am already using the newest version of mame with an old set of roms ( .83).  I will not be upgrading my MAME program as it is up to date.  What I am updating is just my roms, because they are old and need to match the current version of mame.

But I really don't want to replace all the roms unless I know I am not going to erase my high scores.  So is there a consensus that replacing my roms with not erase my save states or high scores?

Thenasty:

if you say the GAME/ROM is ruuning with no problem, then there was NO CHANGE at all since .83 to a newer set.

ROMS don't change.

Only time it changes is when REDUMPED, RE-NAME, REMOVE etc.... occurs.

But if the GAME you say runs, then there really is no point of updating that ROM (theres was NO changed).

gurnie:

well i do want to update files because say of the 8k games there are, only about 1500-1700 show, so it looks like some of the older roms are not compatible, which is why I want to update my roms.
