Thanks for putting in the sizes, so I could check I didn't mix the files up. That was not the case.

I'm not trying to be stupid, but I seem unable to wrap my head around this, and I think I also forgot to mention that I'm using split sets, so it seems that I need the first variant.

But that is what I'm doing (I think)! Here's my set up:


MAME
|-ROMs (folder)
| ...
| calspeed.zip
| ...
|-CHDs (folder)
| ...
| calspeda (folder)
| | calspeda.chd
| calspeed (folder)
| | calspeed.chd
| ...


I have both ROMs and CHDs in a Rom-Path in cmpro's settings.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that I put my CHDs in a different folder than the normal ROMs?
