Is this correct? (re: mame64 -cc)

Saw this posted elsewhere:
Quote:
It is good practice to run mame64 -cc from the command line after installing a new MAME version, because this will populate any new lines in the mame.ini file without removing any of the settings you had previously edited. This ensures that your mame.ini is always up do date.
Does that work the way it is stated?
Because today, I copy new MAME to new folder, create new mame.ini, then copy over settings that are different from old INI file, manually.

RELAX and just have fun. Remember, it's all about the games.

Yes, -cc will read INI files (possibly multiple times because you can change inipath in the first INI file) take a subset of command line options and write out a new mame.ini with the effective overall settings it finds.

This is new to me too. Since when does this work like that?
Does this work for all other .ini´s too (like vertical, horizontal etc.)? Even if not, it is a nice and good progress into the right direction.
It was one of the reasons, why i did updates only once a year, sometimes even longer.

That info should be put on the Mame documentation site.
