Reasons for upgrading

[8trek]

I was a paid user from a few years ago.  Last version i have that i can "register" with is 12.54.  I only use GameEx for MAME and Daphne.  Don't know if it's worth mentioning buy just recently went from Mame .133 to the latest version of mame.  Has there been anything done which stands out as justifying making a new purchase so i can "register" with the latest version of GameEX by way of either performance or features and if going from MAME .133 to the latest has any bearing?  I realize i could go through all the release notes but am hoping someone can give me the cliff notes version of what might make me want to pay again to go latest knowing i just use this for Mame and Daphne.  I've got the latest version of GameEX running but at first glance haven't found anything that stands out but i could be missing something.

Thank you.

Considering that the month of August Tom is offering a Brexit sale on the cost for membership, I think that the cost is well worth it. There have been program and performance changes since MAME 1.33 was released. I suggest reading through the News threads for all of the updates to current to see what Tom has noted. Some you probably won't find of any benefit, others you may.  

Since we are at v14.54, you will want to upgrade to the latest version in the event you have any problems that releases after your last version and you may be asked to upgrade to the latest to ensure that we can provide you with adequate support.

just tried to pay for the 1 year pass but got an email from paypal saying "your automatic payment did not go through".  says to contact Spesoft to pay what your owe.  I've never in my life had payment be rejected and have rarely used paypal to do anything but receive payments not pay out.... for what it's worth. 

edit.... also btw what's the deal with "amount to be paid each time" business?  appears you are trying to setup an auto pay every year?  What am i missing?  Sorry,... just reading verbatim what's on the paypal message.  thanks.

Good point.  I stopped upgrading around version 12.xx as well.  I have all my emulators and MAME set up how I like, with a theme I enjoy.  I don't feel the need to upgrade.  Will purchasing a new license (been registered for YEARS) work with my old version of GameEX if I choose to upgrade my PC?
