Recalbox 7.01 - 7.11: Update vs new installation?

[RK.aus.S]

Hi
I've just updated my Recalbox from v7.0.1 to v7.1.1 - update worked fine.

But what I wonder; is an update within a major version (actually 7.x.x) really the same as a new installation from scratch?
In the release notes of v7.1.0 you can read:

"... Add 4 MAME games from the '80"

As expected, I didn't get this 4 MAME games through the update (at least in the MAME folder)? If I would do a fresh install - I would get it.

Am I wrong? If not; are there even more diffenrences between an update and a new install? Is that described somewhere?

Thanks a lot - Recalbox is great!
Regards
Roman

@RK-aus-S Hi,
There is one difference :
With the new installation, you add the new games

Thanks.
Is there a way to get the "missing" games quick afterwards - without new installation and without searching the ROMs elsewhere?

Next to the /share/directory, there is a /share_init/. Check inside
