MAME .140

You need to run a rom manger like clrmamepro against the latest MAME exe and your current rom set. It will tell you what roms need updating. Then you need to slect only the roms you want when you start your torrent download.

Just tell the torrent to save where the roms are and it will overwrite only the files that need it, and download any new ones you don't have.
You're making it more difficult than it is...

I must be doing something wrong, the torrent I downloaded loos like it had like 50 different .rar files. Can anyone point me to a simple explanation on how to update roms? I am not asking for a site to get the roms mind you, just the process of updating.
I had .120, pointed my torrent for .139 to the my roms folder thinking it would just download the files I needed, then I was going to get rid of unneeded files with Clrmamepro. But the torrent downloaded all 24 gig and now .140 just came out and I just finished getting .139 off my torrent. So, what should I do to update to .140 to keep me from having to get the whole romset all over again?
THanks you all.

I've decided to not update from 135 until there's some major improvement (i.e. naomi or sega model 3). I really see not reason to update.

It needs to be a torrent that isn't in big rars, just the roms in their standard zipped romsets.
Dazz:
The issue with connecting to an existing torrent and overriding your roms is that files that you don't need are still there. Eventually you'll have a lot of files that you no longer need because they were re-named or added to existing sets.
The correct thing to do is to download the .140 update set. Then run the set through CLRMamePro, using your MAME .140 exe and use the Re-Builder to merge your updates with your current set.
