From b710a848c2ead74e0a39e561479a492c39b5d822 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: arcattack Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 12:16:28 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] README: upgrade = extract-over-top (preserves bindings.txt + volume.cfg) The advertised upgrade flow was delete-and-unzip, which wipes the two per-player files (key/joystick bindings incl. joyconfig output, saved volume) every version. The zip carries neither file, so extract-over- top preserves them by construction -- now the documented flow, with the copy-out fallback for clean-delete preferrers. --- players/README.txt | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) diff --git a/players/README.txt b/players/README.txt index c45a747..7cf838a 100644 --- a/players/README.txt +++ b/players/README.txt @@ -5,6 +5,14 @@ IMPORTANT: FULLY EXTRACT this zip first (right-click - Extract All).
