v.91 Jump to v.95

Post by HellRazor »

I recently downloaded Mame32 for v.95.

A few weeks ago I purchased 5 DVDs with the full v.91 ROMs etc.

My questions:

1.) When Running ClrMame, do I use the MAME v0.95 dat when mu Emulator is Mame32?

1a.) Assuming the answer above is yes, On http://www.logiqx.com/Dats/Dats.shtml there is a second dat, "MAME Changes v0.95" with the same date as the one above, would I need both or is the "Changes" only an update to the one above?

2.)Using Mame32 for v.95, with my ROM set that is v.91, do I need to download and run CLRMame on each dat (i.e.v.91, then v.92, then v.93, then v.94, the v.95) or can I just use the v.95 dat and with my v.91 roms? Anotherwords, is it cummalative meaning v.95 has all of the changes since v.91?

Sorry for what may seem to be simple questions, I am just trying to figure out how to maintain a current ROM set.

Just use the full v0.95 dat because if you do it using the change datafiles you'd need to do 0.92 changes, 0.93 changes, 0.94 changes and 0.95 changes. You'd be multiplying your workload considerably by doing it in 4 steps rather than just one.

Thank you for being so quick!!!

As for the dat file, should I use the one for MAME when my emulator is MAME32?

Thanks in advance.
