    It might be a screen mode promotion adjustment, unless your bbs software bangs the Classic Amiga custom chips directly. If that is true, it will have to be run through EUAE. Some 68k Amiga software and games run on MorphOS, but some do not.

    Updating is supported by the installer. There's at least one drawback though in using the installer to update: It will overwrite some files with older versions, e.g. Showgirls.

    ...and you have to copy custom wallpapers and skins back from the backup folder which will be created in your system partition during the update process. It contains libraries, prefs and other system stuff from the previous installation.

    Why would you want to do that? Seems you didn't place your addon skins & wallpapers in the correct location in the first place (SYS:Prefs, instead of MOSSYS:Prefs)
