do chd's need updated just like roms?

[severdhed]

i am in the process of updating my mame setup from 124 to 150. (i've always used 124, this is the first time i've updated)  I have a 149 romset and i stumbled through updating to 150 with clrmamepro...do i need to do anything to the 149 chd's to get them to work with 150?

You have made it sound like your 124 CHD's have been converted from ver.4 to ver.5 with chdman, also. If you saying the 149 CHD's.
Assuming that has been done, going from 149 CHD's to 150 CHD's. These CHD's need to be renamed, for the 150 set.

Then the 149 CHD's update to 150, this is what's there.

Nothing there jumps out at me as being playable other than KOF98 maybe?

Right, in this update of 37.1gigs of CHD's from 149 to 150. Only a hand full work at the moment.
But OP was asking if CHD's need too be updated like roms   yes they do.
Mame 150 took everybody by surprise   These chd's will get worked out in time 

[tron84]

But also from OP's 124 set going to 150.  There have been a lot of CHD's added that are working

[severdhed]

Sorry, should have been more clear. I only had about 3 or 4 chds for my mame 124. 

I have a different set of many more chds labeled as 149 chd. I was just wondering if these would work with mame 150 or if I have to do something to them to upgrade them.

I'm not even sure how many I'll actually use, probably not that many. I'd like to get killer instinct 2 working at least.

I've seen reference to v4 and v5 chd files, but I don't know how those related to different versions if mame.

I updated mine this week using ROM vault:  http://www.romvault.com.  The author is focusing on improving CHD updating support in his recent version.  It's way easier to use than ClrMAME pro.  It was a snap.

To answer your question:  Yes, the CHD files do need to be updated to .150.  However, a lot has changed (I had MAME .147), so when I was all set and done with ROM Vault, I only had something like 34% of the needed CHD files after it renamed everything.  However, it was a start since 34% of over 200+GB is a pretty decent start.

In that case, it can't hurt to run them through ROM Vault.  It may update the ones that you need.
