badhemi Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Hi guys!!! Is there anyway to play chd games on android with any kind of emulator?
reznnate Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 I'm not aware of any problems with games that use CHD files. There are some problems with the Retroarch mame cores at the moment. Biggest hassle is ensuring you have the right format/rom set to match version of mame emulator.
badhemi Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 Thanks rez. I have 4 games in my mame that won't play. Firefox, cliffhanger, cobra command, is vs them. They play in pc but not on android. All others play
reznnate Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 All of those are laserdisc games. Do those work on PC mame?
badhemi Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 All of those are laserdisc games. Do those work on PC mame?yes they do.why do you ask
badhemi Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 All of those are laserdisc games. Do those work on PC mame?Any ideas yet?
reznnate Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 No clue, have had no experience with those roms and chds. So if you are SURE the mame versions and rom sets are the same, the core must be broken.
badhemi Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 All of my zips with chd file games load but pick back out. Pcmame they play so it must be broken. Thanks for reply. Can you tell me which reicast nightly guilty build to get I replied on dreamcast post. Good news and bad news
Metalzoic Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 yes they do.why do you ask They do? Interesting. I thought they still didn't work in MAME.
badhemi Posted February 4, 2016 Author Posted February 4, 2016 They do? Interesting. I thought they still didn't work in MAME.yes all my chd game work on pc but won't play in mame4droid
reznnate Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Are you using v139 mame on PC? I doubt it so assuming you are using newer romset, try the mame2014 or mame git cores in retroarch.
badhemi Posted February 6, 2016 Author Posted February 6, 2016 Are you using v139 mame on PC? I doubt it so assuming you are using newer romset, try the mame2014 or mame git cores in retroarch.how do I check an see what rom set they are. How do I set up paths of my chds are in a subfolder?

How do I set up paths if my chds are in a subfolders since android can't find subfolders
Sting Posted February 6, 2016 Posted February 6, 2016 Put the chd's in with your ROMs, they should automatically pair up. When you downloaded the rom set they normally have the number in the title
badhemi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 Ok I loaded area51 in retroarch mame git and opened the area51zip and I got the screen and trigger gun it moves around. Then I tried to load the chd the next time and it loaded but had a test screen. I have several area51 roms I have a mx,t and an a. As well as other chd games have many names of same game. Not sure how to load them both at once
badhemi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 You don't load the chd separately. If the game has a chd associated with it then mame knows to use it when you load the rom.well then I guess it do,t work since I'm getting just a screen with the trigger
badhemi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 No luck I tried to load cliffhanger zip it kicks out. I even moved them in there own roms folder. I guess mame android can't handle chd
badhemi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Posted February 7, 2016 Are you using v139 mame on PC? I doubt it so assuming you are using newer romset, try the mame2014 or mame git cores in retroarch.what is mame 2014? I only have mame and mame2003
Sting Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 I don't think android can load the laser disc games (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Laserdisc_video_games), but if you do get any of these to load, let me know (mame) is (mame2014) as far as I know, I think they dropped the (2014) off the core because its evolved further.

I hope they emulate singe or daphne. area 51 isn't laserdisc and it doesn't load. Anything with chd

reznnate Posted March 2, 2016 Posted March 2, 2016 I'd be curious about which CHD-related games you guys would really like to play. I agree the CD-based games would be nice until Daphne is ported to Android. But most of the other games are going to be too slow. I THINK the retroarch mame cores are a bit buggy on Android. Area51 worked for me but other games didn't.

badhemi Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 Any way to get mame mess to work with chd in ra system folder?
reznnate Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Area51 worked for me, but other laserdisc games did not (using mame git core)
