can someone explain what a MAME .CHD file is?
something about saving games or something... idk...
Kangum:
i could very well be wrong but i recall someone telling me along time ago chd files were basically for games that used a hard drive. so that file is seen as a hard drive.
in my own experience almost none of the chd games run at full speed. you need a pretty fast computer for games that need chd files and to be honest most of the chd required games dont work anyway so I dont bother with them
kevo1321:
yeah i read something about that but didnt understand it to be honest...

Compressed hard drive image. a snapshot of a hardrive or sorts.
Not all games using chd's require faster computers, but many do.
Gauntlet doesn't require a fast computer, yet gauntlet legends does. both use chd files.
Kangum:
plain ol gauntlet doesnt require chd. i have no chd files and played it the other day.
