Don`t bother with these CHD games

Don`t try to start these games.Obviously , MAME doesen`t have a good support to CHD games.I`ve tried to run Killer Instinct 1&2 but I couldn`t ... There is a missing CHD part which you must browse via the AMULE or the torrents ( I recommend AMULE/EMULE).I`ve found SF III 3rd Strike`s CHD and Warzard`s CHD and with these I have the complete romset but however CPS III is not emulated and MAME won`t run them.However , I`ve seen screenshtots from killer instinct 2 in *SNIPPED* - rom download - killer instinct 2. I`ve seen there and Capcom Vs SNK:MF2000 but it`s only 1.20 MB :D
My suggestion - PLEASE WAIT :D

Killer Instinct 1 and 2 work fine as do many other chd games.
You shouldn't be entering the names of rom sites though.

Yup, all working fine here. You're obviously obtaining your roms from a dodgy source, generic torrent sites are usually a bad idea as mame develops and changes so rapidly chances are whatever you download will be old/out of date/wrong in the first place.

As for the smaller sized roms many are clone roms (alternate board sets) and the actual game roms which are seperate files from the CHD's.
It would appear the issues you are experiencing arise from not having the correct roms. The emulation is fine.

SFIII third strike won't work on any emulator at the moment as its a CPSIII game. However they have just cracked the CPSIII encryption so it may appear in a playable form at some point in the next few months.

Actually what i was wondering is if any kind soul would be so good to post a list of the actually working chds cuz as of 116 there is roughly 55+ gig of chd files and most of them arent working, I'd prefer not to waste my hd space and time downloading chds that areren't working and not really seen a list persay of working vs non working anywhere. It would be a handy reference for people maybe it could be a sticky? :):D

If you are using mame32 just clicking on an entry will report if it is working down in the bottom right hand corner.
