CHDs are basically compressed CD/DVD ISOs and hard disk images. Without them, stuff like Killer Instinct won't run (arcade KI used a hard drive in combination with ROMs, the Taito G-Net arcade platform was basically a tweaked PlayStation 1 with arcade games on CDs etc.)
Expect the CHD set to increase exponentially when the developers start filling out the console software lists as it will eventually contain the entire PlayStation 1 library, clones and all. Add to that Sega's MegaCD, Saturn and Dreamcast, and the possibility of MAME one day breaking the year 2000 barrier with the PS2, Xbox, GameCube, Wii etc. (tens of thousands of multi-gigabyte DVDs, what's not to love?)
