MAME CHDs

Post by **SpaceBooger** » Fri Aug 01, 2008 6:40 pm

I just got a couple chds for my arcade cabinet... what do I do with them, just put the folder in the roms folder?
Is that it?
I put the SF3 one in the folder and it is formatting a cd?
Do I need to run chmame or something.
thanks in advance for the help.

It's been an age since I toyed with MAME CHDs but I think you're supposed to put them in the ROMs folder, and then in another folder named exactly like the game. For example:

%root%\ROMS\Killer Instinct\killer instinct.chd

Things might have changed (and of course I could be mistake in the first place) in the time that I've not used it.

Were you able to get this running Spacebooger? I'm curious if I was completely incorrect, lol.

I got SFIII and Killer Instinct to work, but the newer Gauntlet games did not... the weird thing is I wanted SFIII but the wife likes to play Golden Axe type beat-em-up games, so she was more disappointed than I was.
So thanks, so far so good... I may look into getting a couple more and let you know.
