about mame update roms

Postby nathan1974au » Sat May 07, 2016 9:11 am

not to be rude or start something on this awesome beloved web site!

BUT DAM has anyone said something about the up dates were you have to download each file one by one and also entering a download screen before clicking back button to start the next one! can be taxing. mame 0.173 was murder :evil: would be nice to download it in a single file not one by one. :chainsaw: every ware does this. all I want to do is update then go on gaming!

:thankyou: :mario: :luigi: :typing:

this topic has brought up many times over the years. Hot Trout (the all powerfull creator) is working on a download queueing system for the upcoming new version of the website. but for now, i am sad to say that there is no way to download all mame roms in one go. :cry:
