My frontend doesn't work like that. It reads the rompath info from mame.ini and search for game .zip files in them. Since MAME doesn't support recursive folder searching (auto-search sub-folders of selected folders), Emu Loader also doesn't do that.
If the folder entry in rompath is relative, Emu Loader auto-generates the full folder based on the mame.exe root folder.
like so: emu location d:\emulators\mame\x64binary\mame64.exe
rompath roms
Emu Loader will search game files in d:\emulators\mame\x64binary\roms\ folder. CHD files are searched in this full folder, plus in a gamename sub-folder automatically, (d:\emulators\mame\x64binary\roms\area51\area51.chd)
EL does that ever since the rompath entry in mame.ini appeared. If there are frontends out there that don't work like that, sorry to say but their creators are being lazy.
