Because then the chd's are at the same level as the roms, samples etc. i.e roms can reside in: gamename.zip\rom1 or gamename\rom1 chd's therefore reside in: gamename\chd1 (Obviously the whole point of the custom format is to avoid having to read the whole thing into memory from a zip) They don't necessarily have to be named the same as the game. And yes, theoretically you could have multiple hd's (and/or cd's) for a game, or maybe split a HD to avoid some (eg Fat16/32) filesize limits (i.e. .chd, .ch0, .ch1) -- Paul _______________________________________________ Xmame mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://toybox.twisted.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/xmame
