MAME 0.230 and 0.231 came out while Calamity was working on implementing and refining some features.

He resolved those issues for the GroovyMAME 0.232 + Switchres 2.002b release.

Yes, almost all of the ROMset is the same between those versions so you probably won't notice any problems using ROMset 0.231 with GroovyMAME 0.232.

To see what changed between GroovyMAME 0.231 and 0.232:
1. Check the "What's New" file for MAME 0.232 on the "Old Releases" MAME page.
https://www.mamedev.org/oldrel.html (https://www.mamedev.org/oldrel.html)
https://www.mamedev.org/releases/whatsnew_0232.txt (https://www.mamedev.org/releases/whatsnew_0232.txt)

2. Check Calamity's GroovyMAME 0.232 release notes.

It would be even better to update groovymame and romset to latest version :)

You can use latest version even with this romset but of course a bit more games might refuse to start due missing files or renamed sets.

Or can only update 231 set with clrmamepro and download missing parts (sorry no links here).
