Sets don't get recognized when they are incomplete, ie possible
parentset, biosset and chdfiles are missing.

Some games require them, but they are often not included in ROM packs because they are so massive. For instance, the current collection of CHDs for version 0.105 total 34 Gb for only 70 files. >> Stay informed about: games are not recognized

What is the source of your information? mame.net (and other resources) consistently refers to CHDs as compressed hard drive images. Also, if you get mame32 to dump an xml listing of its known romsets, every reference to CHD files are contained in a <disk> element. This is not to say that I think you're wrong. I'm only interested in what authority your explanation professes. >> Stay informed about: games are not recognized

What is the source of your information? Aaron Giles, the one who created the CHD format in the first place. He changed the name when the CD image support has been added. The guideline to use CHDs instead of standard zipped binary files are: - data should be large, making it undesirable to have it fully undecompressed in memory - data should be random access - accesses should be done by blocks (e.g. sectors, pages or equivalent) There is a even chance that the pcmcia flash cards g-net uses and are iirc accessed with an IDE-ish interface end up as CHDs for instance.

Yes. I don't have an experience in trying to obtain them, so I can't really advise you as to the best means to do so. Sorry for the tortured English. >> Stay informed about: games are not recognized
