can someone explain what a MAME .CHD file is? something about saving games or something... idk... |
| Kangum:
i could very well be wrong but i recall someone telling me along time ago chd files were basically for games that used a hard drive. so that file is seen as a hard drive. in my own experience almost none of the chd games run at full speed. you need a pretty fast computer for games that need chd files and to be honest most of the chd required games dont work anyway so I dont bother with them |
| kevo1321:
yeah i read something about that but didnt understand it to be honest... |

http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/5528 Compressed hard drive image. a snapshot of a hardrive or sorts. Not all games using chd's require faster computers, but many do. Gauntlet doesn't require a fast computer, yet gauntlet legends does. both use chd files. |
| Kangum:
plain ol gauntlet doesnt require chd. i have no chd files and played it the other day. |
