      I can't get most of the chd games to work. Is there a trick to get them running. I have them in the arcade folder with the roms, and they are each in separate folders with names matching the rom names.

        It seems Timber doesn't save hiscores?
        lr-mame2010 does, but lr-mame2003-plus doesn't..?

              ost samples have been removed from the dat too many people think they are missing samples when they have the mono set.

                CHD's do work and you're putting them in the correct location. You might try running them through ClrMamePro with the DAT to verify you're using CHDv3. They have to be a specific version to work.

                @AndersHP - Maybe @grant2258 would know how to tell if a game has hiscore support. I tried it also and it doesn't save in Plus. Even looking at the current hiscore.dat I don't find a Timber entry. Maybe it's an NVRAM setting.

                @Stuart2773 - I am using a Pi 3 running RetroPie 4.3 and both games play the intro fully with no graphical issues.

                  @gizmobjb - It might also be worth mentioning if you're using a Pi as your platform the CHD performance is anywhere from a miss to slow motion play. The Pi just doesn't have enough oomph to make them playable really.

                    heres what the same romset looks like in lr-mame2016:-

                    the build im using is Pi 3 running RetroPie 4.4

                    mame 2016 shows the correct colors when playing the game unlike 2003-plus which shows a blue background on the intro screens on both afterburner & afterburner 2 instead of the black one on mame2016 & lr-fbalpha

                      @riverstorm thank you. Everything is correct, no chd missing or incorrect versions when I scan. Maybe they will start I just need to wait longer since I am on a pi3. The folders just need to match the rom name so I got that right.

                        @Stuart2773 - I see what you're saying. I have the same deal with the blue background. I opened an issue here. I think it will take one of the core programmers to fix the issue if it can be fixed.

                        @gizmobjb - Right the CHD folder and ROM need to match but not necessarily the CHD itself. I was using Area 51 for testing and it only takes about 10 seconds before the intro screens should start. It shouldn't take to long.

                          @Riverstorm Area 51 is the only one I got to work. Are you able to test the others.

                            I tried a few and most worked but slowly. Judge Dredd crashed with a seg fault but not sure if it's the ROM or CHD causing the issue.

                            Area 51 (Good)
                            Crypt Killer (Good, screen is in the upper left hand corner but proportionate)
                            Judge Dredd (runcommand.sh: line 1008: 4347 Segmentation fault)
                            Killer Instinct (Good)
                            Killer Instinct 2 (Good)
                            Maximum Force (Good)
                            San Francisco Rush (Good, but couldn't get past steering wheel check screen)
                            War Gods (Good)

                              Revolution X has a black screen on the scoring section at the end of a level and also a black screen on the level select screen. Any chance for someone to take a look at it?

                                  @grant2258 @markwkidd - I don't know if they prefer issues posted here or on Github here. Maybe one of the core folks will have a preference.

                                        I want to use a program to filter roms, is there a catver.ini for the 2003 plus full rom set.

                                            Zaxxon seems to be broken in -plus. Can someone else confirm? Still works in mame2003.
