Re: Now, this one has me stumped.

One more thought on this... I had also asked guys on the BYOAC forum for assistance (which I got confused with some advice on this forum), and one of the members offered the following advice:


"It's most likely path error. When Mame says it can't find a chd that means....wait for it..... it can't find a chd!

Do you have your paths defined in your mame.ini? Are your chds in a different folder than the roms for the chd games? Are your .chd files extracted in a folder? Is it the properly named folder? (The folder name is NOT always the chd name).

1. Make sure your path(s) are defined in your mame.ini

2. Make sure the chd parts of your games are in open folders and not zipped up.

3. If you are still having trouble take the rom (not the chd) of the game in question and extract it inside that chds folder, that sometimes helps."


Does any of the above sound likely, and/or logical?
