[MAME CHD's]

Hi, i have limited understanding of how all things MAME work but have found Launchbox to be pretty idiot proof with importing a MAME full romset and getting it up and running successfully through the wizard. It's really impressive. 

I'm hoping someone can help me understand a couple things in relation to setting up Mame games that require CHD files:

1. Do i have to download the full Mame CHD set or is there a way or a source for me to simply pick and choose the ones i want to play? I don't really want to download the whole Mame CHD set which seems like it is one zip file via torrent given it's a significant size; and  

2. Where do you save the CHD files? say i have all the *.zip Mame game files in lauchbox\games\Mame 0.265 folder, do i save the CHD file in that folder or do i need to insert within the specific *.zip game file.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response. That suggestion worked perfectly! 

Hopefully ok to ask another question. Having only previously used Retropie the shaders are limited in the Pi version of Retroarch. There seems to be a significant number more at hand in the PC version.

I’m outputting  on HDMI to either a 60 inch led TV or 32 inch gaming LCD screen. 

Is there a preferable shader used by the majority for NES, SNES, N64 on larger screens? I opted for the Brzfast curve on the Pi.

This is a great package very impressed for my first go at it.

Thanks

[NeoGeo LaunchBox]

Hi,

I’m new to launchbox and I’m having trouble getting NeoGeo games to load.

I have version 13 of launchbox and all the YouTube videos and web searches refer to previous versions so not quite the same steps.

I have a working set of Roms and Bios. They were working on Retropie using Retroarch. They also work on Retroarch installed on my PC so the problem is with launchbox specifically.

I have installed the following cores in Retroarch FB Alpha 2012 CPS–1, CPS –2, CPS–3, FB Alpha Neo Geo, FB Alpha 2012, FinalBurn Neo.

Ive imported the roms including the bios under SNK Neo Geo, using Retroarch as the emulator and the core being loaded is fbalpha2012_neogeo_libretro. When I click on a game nothing happens. Any suggestions?
