    Default CHD files: Where they go and how to get them?

    Hi all.
    I'm new to the Mame scene and it's great to find a forum like this at Austech!
    I'm on windows XP and using MameUI32.

    I have Downloaded the full 135 rom set and done the upgrade to 136, using clrmamepro (whew talk about hard!!!)

    So i heard that the full set of Mame is like 100GB's. I have approx 23GB's of Roms.

    My buddy has given me some 126 CHD files and they are big.
    But some of them fail to load off the DVD.

    Can i ask, where do these CHD's go (do they go into the ROM folder and should they be zipped or whatever), and what games do they make work, like is it worth downloading these massive files?

    I'm assuming that these CHD's are the main reason why people talk about 100GB's.

    Great, thanks people.

    Hi GT250,

    To get new/updated roms or CHD's visit . If your CHD's are not working try updating them with the chdman tool. Run clrmamepro against your CHD's to see what the issue is with the ones that don't run. Updating with chdman is far better than downloading the CHD all over again.

    cheers,

    malcolmturnbull.

    If you dont like torrents you can get them and all roms etc at
    The CHDs go in the rom folder, inside their own folder with the same name as the rom, unzip CHD to its own folder ie: area51.zip is the rom area51 is the name of the folder with the unzipped chd in it.
