Hey guys,
Every year or two I update MAME in my Arcade cabinet. I updated to the latest version of MAME and now I can't load WAR GODS anymore! I know how to lay out the ZIP (ROM) and the CHD files, but it still will not load. CHD error...
I have read around that MAME changed the way CHDs are read? What am I doing wrong now or what am I missing? It used to load and play just fine.
I noticed its changed to WAR GODS DUAL RESOLUTION.. whatever that means?
Thanks for your help! Charles

There are I guess 3 versions of wargods in MAME now...which all use their own chd...most likely the sets were reorganized in the past so that your old parent one might be a clone now....audit your sets and you will see which chd you got and which files you're missing

What is the error?
If it's the version mismatch error then the easiest way to solve that is to empty out your diff directory.

A newer version was added that supports 2 different monitor types. Since it's newer it was set as parent and the old parent moved to clone. This can happen with every game in mame. People can either use clrmame, stay with the same mame version indefinitely, or have a lifelong pain in the ass. I should put that in the forum header.

It probably needs a name change too, the parent changed.

AFAICT the last change was committed in June 2012 (r16680) & released as part of 0.147 in September 2012.
If the previous version the OP was running is before 0.147 that then that will be his problem.
