A question about scraping and upgrading

[krantz]

Hello, Just a simple question: does upgrading to new version of Recalbox affects game lists? In other words, do I need to scrape everything once again when I upgrade to a new version?

Well even if it doesn't (I don't know) there are commands on the wiki to save your scrape and restore it.. so better safe than sorry

if it is an update that is applied on the RPi itself, nothing is changed nor deleted from your games lists or roms. If the update is downloaded on your computer as a SD image and you flash it to your SD card in your PC then yes, you loose everything. I have been using recalbox v3.3.0 since beta 2 and have updated a few times thru to the current beta 9 and have never lost any data. These updates were downloaded and applied on the RPi itself while using recalbox. Hope that answers your question.   Eric

Yes, this was exactly what I was concerned about, thanks!
