MAME 0.106 CHDs version mismatch
« on: 27 March 2014, 20:51 »

I was hoping for some clarification on MAME 0.106b CHDs. When I run them through ClrMamePro EVERY CHD shows "required chd version mismatch: <rom name> [found version: 3] [required version: 5]".

I am not sure but I don't think version 5 CHDs were used in 2006 so I think it's an error? Maybe the newer versions of ClrMamePro don't "recognize" the older CHDs?

I did use the executable to build the DAT and I also tried -listxml from the command line and still the same results.

Is anyone able to shed some light on it.

Thank you!

Edit: I am using version cmpro 4.014a! :)

you have to tell cmpro which chd version it should check for....default is newest (5). if you are using an old mame version you have to change the setting yourself in settings->compressor->chdman
guess you also need an old version of chdman then and its old parameter to verify chds if you want to deep verify chds.

Hey Roman, you're the best! :) I changed the version to 3 where you specified. Then I had to run chdman from the command line to get the correct syntax. Basically version .106 doesn't like the verify but -verify and all is currently verifying nicely now. Thank you Roman and have a super weekend.

Oh, I know you said your Avatar is from a game. I still have no clue which, any chance for a small hint?! ;D

SHOOT, you weren't supposed to give me the answer...YET! :) It took me a bit but I did actually find the game with your hints this past weekend! I watched a few video's and also a remake of the game!

I really love some of the old C64 games like Legacy of the Ancients, The Legend of Blacksilver, Questron, Phantasie Series, Alternate Reality: The City/Dungeon, etc. but there is one game that I never could solve nor find a walk through for and it still stumps me to this day. I tried to figure it out a few years ago again but had no luck. I bet I spent a good few months on and off for several hours using freeze states in CCS64.

Have you ever heard of Gemstone Healer? I so want to solve that game but I can't figure it out. The placement order of the gemstone pieces on the alter with the other items. I have screenshots of all the pieces of every item in the dungeon, I made a map (the dungeon name is the random seed for the map so it's easy to get the same dungeon). I tried everything I could think of and I just can't figure out what the solution is.

Ok I know that's way off topic but I still love the old C64 games.
