Im having a problem with the CHD for Carnevil..

I have all of my roms in '/mame/roms/'  and all of my chds in '/mame/chds/'.

and for the most part this works fine, clrmamepro is happy with all of them apart from the carnevil chd, this is the message I get:

unneeded folder: X:\mame\chds\carnevi1 [not fixed]

CarnEvil (v1.0.1) [folder: carnevil1 - parent: carnevil - size: 544kb]
missing chd: carnevi1.chd [chd-md5: N/A] [chd-sha1: 94532727512280930a100fe473bf3a938fe2d44f]


If I move the carnevi1 CHD folder into /mame/roms/ it happy, but its more than happy with all my other CHDs in the /mame/chds/ folder..

Is there a reason why this happens?

Be Sure that you enable the allow Chd in rompathroot Option if you Store chds that Way. Also Be sure that your Chd is valid.
I will check this When Im back from Holiday and don't use a mobilephone to answer postings

Thanks for the response.  I've tried having it checked and not checked, it seems to make no difference.

I assume the CHD is valid since when I move the folder into /mame/roms/ clrmame is more than happy with it.

Hope your having a good holiday

Wait a second....it says 'unneeded folder'. I'm assuming you're using full merged sets then? If so, move the clone chd file to its parent folder (with the parent chd) and you can safely remove the unnecessary folder.

If I should do more investigation, please let me know more details....
Easiest would be to email me your cmpro.ini file, the used profile settings file (.cmp in cmpro's settings folder) and if the dat is not MAME based, the datfile.

so actually what I'm saying is:

if you keep your sets fully merged you only need the rompath subfolder for the carnevil parent set and keep all chds (the parent and the clone(s)) in there. Then you don't need the "allow chds in rompath root" option.

If you keep them split-merged, you need a subfolder for each one (parent and clones...)

if you want to store them in a rompath root, you need to enable that option and normally you can keep the chds in any rompath root then.

So...recheck your setup and let me know what looks wrong in your point of view....as mentioned in the previous post, best would be to send me the details (cmpro files) and maybe a short information which file is stored where....
