Updating your roms is rather easy. You can add new files on 2 ways:

- scanner: put the new stuff in an addpath (see settings->addpath) and enable fixmissing for your next scan.
- rebuilder: let the rebuilder destination point to your current, clean collection and let the sourcepath point to your new stuff. If you have more than one sourcefolder you can also drag&drop files & folders or you can also use the addpaths for this purpose.
