I have 0.276 installed and working great, and I don't want to mess with something that is working. I have a few games that I'd like to try on the latest version of lr-mame though.

Is there a way I can keep everything running on 0.276 but also install the latest? It seems like I can only update my package through the menus.

I'm running on LR-MAME 0.276, and have matching romset and chd. Some of the big buck hunter games don't even show up because they are CHD only, but one that does is call of the wild. When I launch the game, it seems like it's checking the CHD and hangs on that screen forever.

I have BIOS, rom and chd present, and they appear to be the correct version. I tried flipping dip siwtches and rolling back BIOS version in the settings. Is there anything else I can try?

Here is the relevant text:

I have the correctly rom, chd and matching version of MAME. I believe I have the correct BIOS (it was in the romset).

I can get Redream working great, but it seems like it only supports 1 lightgun.

I can get the lightgun x/y configured in lr-flycast-dev, but for the life of me I can't get the buttons mapped. I have the quick menu > controls mapped to light gun, and settings > input > retropad binds > port 1 buttons configured to the gun buttons, but they don't seem to work.

I just got a Reaper RS3 and I can see it working in Retroarch. The crosshairs move.

If I run a recent version of mame with the game I want to play, the lightgun works, but the game has choppy performance.

If I run it LR Mame 2016, the game is smooth, but I can't get it lightgun to work. Has anyone run into a similar issue? I think if I can get mouse support (what my lightgun works as) working in mame 2016 then I'll be good.

Or alternately, a way to run the game in recent mame without being choppy.

Thanks!
