Hey, whats up "CDBrown"...Yes, I do know of that method, but I'm telling you dude that even the mame v.105 seems to be lacking the ability to locate the CHD in the subdirectory! I'll see if I can go about getting you some pictures so you can "see" whats happening yourself. But I have to figure out how to do it tho.

what comes up on the screen when you type in
mame area51
it should list what it is missing.  Perhaps the very old rom is actually too old for 104u9 and you need to get the latest version of the rom.

Maybe it has something to do with your incorrect slash's (use \'s not /'s in file paths).

Now, the idea about the Updated ROM is an "idea".....But what it says to me is "CHD NOT FOUND" and thats all....How do you explain this?? But I will try that new rom if there is one!

if it says that then the rom should be alright and that the chd is either named wrongly, still zipped, in a wrong named folder, don't have the chd.  area51.chd should be about 517mb according to maws.
