Scott82236 Posted September 3, 2023 Author Share Posted September 3, 2023 I cant have two files with the same name. Can someone show me what it is supposed to look like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 For Area51, you should have the main ROM file, area51.zip (which is about 622kb). And then have a folder called area51. This [sub]folder should then have a single file area51.chd (which is about 475MB). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott82236 Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 I have also found that with roms your mame version can be a little different than the rom but with chds they are more finicky probably need to be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CHD is no different than the zipped rom data. It all depends on what was updated during the new Mame release. If a CHD was not updated in several revisions than it can run fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott82236 Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 For me it worked when I used Mame 0.258 with 0.258 chd I had Mame 0.257 and 0.258 chd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
