MAMEWorld Forums - EmuChat - [help] CHDs folder location

hi all,
I have my ROMs in d:\mame_roms and my CHDs in d:\mame_roms\CHD
Some of my CHD files are all in the same folder, not in "gamename" sub-folders.

Code:

rompath=d:\mame_roms;d:\mame_roms\CHD

In previous builds, MAME would load CHD files in d:\mame_roms\CHD\", with v0.237 it complains that the CHD file is not found, but I have it.
When moving the CHD file into "d:\mame_roms\CHD\gamename\" folder, MAME loads the game.

Is this a new rule for CHDs location ? They must be in "\gamename\" or "\parent_gamename\" folder ?

For years my frontend Emu Loader supported CHD files to be in any of the folders you set in mame.ini "rompath", and MAME would load it without any issues.
This is not a complaint, and I can update my frontend accordingly.
I'm just curious to why this was changed.

Thanks for listening.
