      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 🙂

            Pi4 8gb / Pi5 4gb / Pi02W / OGS / PC
            Next release? Soonâ„¢
