upgrading mame....certain way to do it?

(1/3) > >>

hulkster:
so im going from mame 107 (i think) to the new version 118 as it gives the ability to play sf3. 

---side note --- i say "i think" because its whatever version of mame added the golden tee games to playable status. 

anyway, i downloaded the new version and after making a copy of my current mame directory for backup reasons, i just put the new mame.exe in the place of the old one, and everything worked.  is that an okay way of upgrading or do i need run some stuff from the cmd? 

ive got hiscore.dat, catver.ini, etc. all from the old version....do those need to be updated as well?

Green Giant:
What frontend are you running?  I know after I upgraded I just made sure Mala had all the settings I wanted.  No reason to bother changing the mame.ini yourself if a frontend can keep uptodate with whatever version of mame you are running.

hulkster:
im using mala for my FE.  i know that mala takes care of most everything, but i was more concerned with my hiscore.dat, catver, etc. not being compatible or whatever.  i dont want to get the new high score in track n field, only for it not to be saved!

Green Giant:
Everything should be fine asside from hiscore.dat since I havn't set it up on mine yet.  Someone else might be able to verify it for you.
