Yep, then refresh the main list.

Note that any of your filters will be reset, so you'll need to re-generate those (at least to reflect the changes).

How do I get a new .dat game list file?  I noticed some issues with this when I tested it out on my work computer yesterday.

in a command prompt get to your mame folder and type "mame -listxml | xml2info >mame.dat"
