ROMS and CHDS????
06attaker:
I've been using Mgalaxy as my frontend and have had no problems downloading the ROMS into the ROM folders. The games come up easily with Mgalaxy. But now with CHD's where do they go??? I tryed putting them in the ROM folder and they do not come up when Mgalaxy is booted up.
Thanks for any info!!!

The chds go in subfolders of the rom folder. Instead of repeating the MameFAQ, I'll just link to your question.

Well I learned that you need the roms and chds in the same folder for it to work...so, for example
C:\Mame\Roms\area51\
this will contain area51.chd
and all other rom files

Only true if you unzip the roms. (Hmm, unless that is an Mgalaxy bug. MXb0x3r?)
Just leave them zipped; it's faster, less disk space, and easier to manage. For your example:
C;\Mame\Roms\area51.zip <--- roms
C:\Mame\Roms\area51\area51.chd <--- chd
Where the bold text should match if you want different games.
(Dang, I was too lazy to write that the first time, but still had too.)

Can i latch on by asking if all roms require CHD's to work?
