It looks like you will need to decide what's more important to you. That said, just find a way to download the latest version and install it to a new folder- which you would really need to do anyway upgrading from such an old version. Keep the old version for now in its own folder, but you should be fine moving the roms, artwork, samples, and snaps, and other gfx folders. Do NOT copy over the ini, cfg, and NVRAM folders (also hlsl and bgfx I think if they exist). Bear in mind though that many romsets have been changed so not all will work, but a good chunk will so you can test for the issue with the latest version. If it's fixed, great- finish upgrading by finding the current romsets and such and delete your old mame folder. If not, report it and people will be willing to help since the issue now happens with the latest version.
