Hi everyone and thanks a lot to Calamity for his effort bringing us new GrooveMAME versions!

I've just completed my GroovyMAME 0.277 setup and romset for my Sega New Net City Arcade Cabinet and its Toshiba CRT. I've also configured latest version of Calamity EMU CRT Drivers with VM Maker and all modelines are correctly installed and usable within GroovyMAME.

We know Calamity is now working hard to release new GroovyMAME version (probably .279 will be the next one).
Quick question, is there an how-to guideline to update current 0.277 version of GroovyMAME to the future 0.279 version? Do I have to reinstall everything (including VM Maker that requires to specify the location of mame.exe executable), or is it simply a matter of unzipping and overwriting the new version release files into my current folder where GroovyMAME is installed and configured? Of course I will update both ROMs and CHDs as well with CLRMAME.

Thanks a lot in advance, best regards.

Hi cloud79,

The vmmaker part only needs to be done once. In order to update GroovyMAME, my recommendation is to download the new release from the github site and unzip it to a new folder. This is to make sure all dependencies are up-to-date. Then copy your old configuration files (mame.ini, etc) to the new folder.

That said, most of the times, however, it just works to overwrite the old GroovyMAME executable with the new one, keeping the old folder. But from time to time, this "method" fails, because some dependencies (usually the bgfx folder) get outdated and cause the binary to crash.

Thanks a lot Calamity for the crystal clear explanation!!
