Updating mame exe?

(1/3) > >>

acidblue0:
I using a older version of mame.exe. How do I update it without losing all my settings exe? I'm guessing just copy and paste new exe files over old ones?

isucamper:
Yes you can do this (you don't even have to overwrite the old one, just give the new one a different name and run it from the same directory), but you have to be a little careful.  Very old versions of MAME do not use the same format configuration files as new versions.  In otherwords, if the versions are too far apart, you will lose your settings and whatnot.  What versions are you using? 

acidblue0:
I'm using I think 127. I'm not home right now but I'm sure that's right. Just to test I copied all exe files and made a backup just incase it didn't work. then pasted new exe files and it worked but some games didn't work anymore so I put it back like it was.

Did you update the roms too? That could be why those games don't work (or the new MAME version has broken them for now).

How do you do that?
