Pinmame Update Question

[Tikimaster]

If I want to update VPinMame on a running system with a newer  Freezy.. Do I need to copy more files than: PinMame.exe, PinMAME32.exe, libpinmame-3.5.dll and the Bass dlls?
Its from 3.4 to 3.5..
Thankyou

I just unzip all EXCEPT the vpmalias.txt into my vpinmame folder and overwrite 'em all. I then run the setup and validate the paths and defaults and THEN click install.

@Retsamikit : Surprised that you didn't mention vpinmame.dll - but, yeah, what Cliffy said. BUT, I was told in the pinmame beta thread a while ago, that they did some changes that should be cleaned using setup.exe. So, the proper routine is what Cliffy says, then run setup.exe, press uninstall, then it will ask you if you want to unregister - say yes to this. Then it asks to clean registry. Say "NO" !!!!! Or you will loose custom dmd settings etc.When this is run, press the install again and you will register the newer vpinmame.dll.

I use freezy´s dlls, they are actual. I checked the dlls in the install zip, the version in DMDext folder is older.. Thankyou for the Infos.

The dll folders contain files, but, they are not run. Personally I update freezy or whatever, outside of pinmame iteself. So, don't worry if the folders contains files. You simply don't have to use them.
