badhemi Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi guys!!! Is there anyway to play chd games on android with any kind of emulator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reznnate Posted February 1, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badhemi Posted February 1, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reznnate Posted February 4, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reznnate Posted February 6, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sting Posted February 6, 2016 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badhemi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badhemi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badhemi Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sting Posted February 7, 2016 Share 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.

reznnate Posted March 2, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
