New install

[STEMALO]

Hi everyone,

I recently had my LAUNCHBOX-MAME arcade M.2 drive crash. I had to purchase another drive and re-install EVERYTHING.
I installed LAUNCHBOX and MAME 287 with the ROMs. Everything working perfectly. Then I proceeded to add the CHD roms but instead of putting them in the ARCADE section it put them in the root and I can't seem to get them to work.

What am I doing wrong?

Do you want them in the root? Can't say I've ever seen that.  Anyway, I think your question is more about...

So many possibilities.  

You might try installing the MAME Tools plugin and enable the MAME Troubleshooting feature.  That should help show you where it's going wrong.

I used the import function in LAUNCHBOX to add the CHD and it put them in the root and yet they still do not start.
What is the proper way of adding CHDs in an existing LAUNCHBOX set up?

My MAME ROMs are in the C drive as is my LAUNCHBOX application.
My CHD ROMS are in the D drive .
