Does retropie play chd games
« on: July 26, 2015, 05:43:31 pm »
Just wondering if I am wasting my time or not trying to get them to run.  I am placing a directory that matches the name of the corresponding zip file in the images folder.   I get a lot of messages that say unsupported chd files.

Depends on what mame you are using inside for RPi?  Maybe the advmame can handle it from a technical point of view...but the processor is anemic for this purpose.  I'd suggest looking into these forums and see what is needed to handle CHD...i mean usually i3 or i5 are recommended  ;D
Nothing witty here...move along.

In the images folder?  Don't CHD files go in the ROM directory?

I tried killer instinct once on my rpi2 with advmame and it was slow-motion.

I can't think of too many other .chd games i'd want to play.

I finally got the game to run (NFL Blitz), but as the previous poster alluded to, the processor is too weak to handle the game

Shipping something from the U.S. to Canada for repair/exchange?  Please use USPS to avoid (additional?/excessive?) shipping charges.  PM me if you have any questions.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

You mean this?
(Members have seen no spam in the BYOAC forums since Saint started first post approval on August 5th last year.  :applaud:)
One spammer (And19ewOr) managed to make it through since then -- not sure if he hacked his way in or if one of us accidently clicked on "approve" instead of "delete". (mod log file doesn't show any first-post approval  :dunno)

Compared to 300+ attempted spam posts and the 5,000+ spam accounts that we've deleted in that same time frame, I'd say that the mod team is winning this one.

If it makes you feel better, here is a revised version of the quote:
