Easy Way to update from a previous retroFE version
« on: June 16, 2020, 06:12:58 PM »
Hi,

Am i right to assume we can change the .exe only if i want a smooth update from a previous version, or shall we add some other files ?
I understand the need to update the config file as well maybe since there are more functionalities included in updated versions.

Thanks for your feedback !

Depends on which release you’re updating from, but it may be wise to update the core and the layouts directory as well. There’s also a recent MAME.xml included in the meta\hyperlists directory that may be of interest.

In addition, a few changes were made to the controls.conf file as well as the settings.conf file, so if things aren’t working as expected you may want to have a look in those as well.
