Ha, probly a rare instance of someone with the right intent looking in the wrong place. In any case, anything actual game-wise you want to look in MAWS. Or google it.

CHD = hard drive image

CHD originally used to mean "Compressed Hard Drive", but in more years the definition has been broadened to "Compressed Hunks of Data"
An arcade operator I was talking to a little while ago about my arcade cabs was interested in the possibility of using a PC running Mame to revitalise his Killer Instinct machines, as the hard drives commonly failed and were virtually unrepairable. Still a popular game, apparently. Seems like a legit application of Mame, at least on the face of it.

Somewhere around 0.117 or so... I know they are in 0.117, dont know how much earlier then that it got, not much I think.

You can also use chdman.exe to rebuild an HD from an image if he really has a KI with only a bad disk.
