Hi, everyone,

I'm trying to update from the rom batch I downloaded using this tutorial:

https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/30220-how-to-update-your-mame-romset-to-a-newer-version-with-clrmamepro/

I hit a snag and got a "Bad System-Default Paths" error upon trying to scan the updates. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Can you be a bit more specific? A plain "Bad System-Default Paths" does not exist, so a screenshot might help?
Generally using system default paths is something more enhanced...a new user normally has to use them

Hi,

Sorry, I'm still learning how everything works with the program. I am trying to update my romset from 0.185 to 0.194 for MameUI64. I was trying to use clrmamepro to scan everything and after I ran through the settings, I went to scan and ran into this:



I'm assuming the Software (lists) that I hit ok to may be a root of this issue. I want to play non-arcade (mess) games with mame if possible to simplify things. From what I read, that means I should have hit ok to the Software lists right?

Regards,
gladhandbart

First of all, as a beginner I strongly advice you to NOT include software lists. If you want to scan softwarelists, use them in their own profiles.
Secondly, the warning tells you what's wrong. In combined software list mode (which you should not use as a beginner, that's what the prompt tells you when you import data), you need to assign system default paths. And these paths need to be unique and distinct.


So, start over, import data from a MAME binary and answer the question about importing software lists at the end of the import with "no" ;-)
