Can anyone tell me exactly how to update the ROMs using CLRMamePro (I have vers 3.71a)? I spent over 5 hours last night trying to do this with no luck. I'm very frustrated. A few months ago I installed Mame32 v94 and ROMs. Now I installed the Mame32v 98 executable in that same Mame32 directory (overwriting the v94 executable.) Then I downloaded the updated clrmamepro dat files for .95, .96, .97, and .98 and extracted those zip files into the datfiles directory of CLRMamePro (which is what I'm guessing I was supposed to do. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do next because I printed out three different docs for CLRmamepro and they all say something different. I tried different things and thought I might have got it working but when I run Mame32 v 98 it still shows missing ROM files for the games that were supposed to be updated with vers 98. Just how do the dat files get converted to the ROM files that need to go into the mame32/roms directory? Also, I believe I have split roms but I don't know how to verify that. And when I unzip the update datfiles there are 4 dat files (Full-merged, non-merged, split (the one I assume I use) and then a 4th dat file. What is that one used for? I'm very confused at this point. Can anyone help me out and give me some good instructions or point me to where there is some "good" easy-to-understand documentation. The doc at the CLRMame website is no help, also another at "Doug's Roms" (where I got the ROMS) was no good either, nor at EasyEMU. One says to use rebuilder, the other one does not. Also, when I was trying to run it, windows would pop up asking if I want to delete certain files and rename others. Do I just answer "yes" to all of these? Just very frustrated.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Darren
