Mgalaxy 6.2 issue when updating

Hi,
I recently updated my mgalaxy from 6 to 6.2 and now I can't open up mgalaxy runway. I also tried to do a fresh install and then copy over my data folder from 6 over to the new installation but I still get the same issues. How can I fix this?

silent253,
File well received. I've already identified some problems and fixed them!
You'll get your files back (more than surely) tomorrow!

silent253,
A corrected data folder has just been sent to you!
The 'main' problem was with your MAME database (xmlout.xml)...which was missing a lot of (needed!) 'description' tag !
You'll just have to build a new MAME database!
The other problems was related to you having created some 'custom' systems...which were not properly detected by the updater!
I have adapted the updater to take those custom systems in account as well as possible!
I remind you (and all other users) that the best - for you and the community - is to come here and either ask support for a new system or share your 'new' system so that it can be added to mGalaxy later on!
Enjoy v6.2

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply I will take a look at the file and rebuild my MAME database. So were my custom system added to mGalaxy. You can share those new systems. I will gladly support this frontend. Also, is the database for FBA complete yet? If not I have a complete romset and would be willing to create a database.

So I was going to create a new system but I just noticed that all my custom systems from before are no longer in the available systems column they only appear on my user systems. They work with no problems but If I were to delete them I would be screwed. Why did they get taken out when I updated from 6.0 to 6.2?
