I having problems with CHD files.
What am I doing wrong.. I have my rom folder on E:\mame\roms
I let the CHD file zipped and extract the CHD file to E:\mame\roms\gamename\
When I open the game I still get error messages
In this case:
i
kuragi.bin not found
error required files are missing, the game cannot be run.
What am I doing wrong, I am I not placing the rom in the right way?
-
Kuragi.bin is not a chd
So, you're missing a rom.
Start searching.

Thought the CHD was the rom sorry I am new to the CHD part.

CHD is the compressed Harddisk file. Still need a ROM image for it to work. Still for me, I have never been able to find the proper ROM file for any CHD I got... So no CHD based games (area51) for me until I find the right matchup....

Same here no bin files to find anywhere.... :angry:

Try going to your favorite rom source and look for a .zip with the same main name as the CHD, or google the CHD filename but with a .zip ending.
Ive gotten the roms (.zip) and a CHD for a game before, but the versions were incompatible with either each other, or the version of MAME I was using.
Outside of that, I cant give you any specific sites where to get this stuff. It would make Saint sad.

Ohhh. Most of the 'mainstream' rom sites, though free, aren't updated. I think because most people aren't using the latest version of Mame. These sites often don't have CHD nor bios file, either. Seems there's a handful only that match all these criteria.

Been looking up like 15/20 sites and they dont have the roms for it. Guess you need to know your way in Rom land...
-
That is so true. Once upon a time, it was easy to find. Now, you need "local knowledge"...
The rules didn't seem to say, but i'm guessing this place doesn't allow links to rom sites.
Hint: If you're after a full set, do some searching in torrent-land.

Think you may have gotten too close to the rules. Im sure this thread will end up in the trashcan. Next time, try PMing the person.

Welcome Robbert! Your work elsewhere is greatly appreciated!
Just going to make sure everyone is aware of the rules:
5. Nothing illegal! Do I even need to explain this one? Need a ROM to repair an arcade board you own? Fine to talk about. Need a ROM to complete your MAME collection? Don't bother to post here.
