Hi Roman,

Remember me? Guess not, it's been a while;-) We talked about clrmame in the very beginning... and never ever dared to dream that it would come as far as it is now;-)

I discovered this thread hunting for a solution for the VERY SAME problem! Ik have the file 929jbb02.chd, I can access it, move it, copy it, delete it, whatever.... But clrmame 3.101a together with MAME32 1.16 reports:

Guitar Freaks 2nd Mix Ver 1.01 (GQ883 VER. JAD) [system: System 573 BIOS - folder: gtrfrk2m - size: 512kb]
integrity check failed: 929jbb02.chd [reason: can't access file]


I have disabled the only virus scanner on my system before scanning. I'm not behind a software firewall a spyware blocker.

However!
Also the GUI of MAME 32 1.16 reports the file missing. So maybe it's a problem in MAME 32?

ps: I've tried to download another version of the CHD which gave the same result.

I checked some more with Mame 1.16 guitar freaks games:
Although clrmame, after "deep scan", reports a perfect set (besides the issue mentioned above), MAME32-116 reports problems with guitar freaks 3, 4 and 5. Despite the fact that MAME reports gfreaks missing (black square) these games do launch, reporting that "one or more roms/chd's are incorrect".

I think there's a problem between MAME and CLRMame?

Hope to hear from you, and please let me know if I need to test some more,

Greetz,
