I've put together a quick step by step guide for updating CHD Files to v5 in OS X using chdman and the Terminal. Please note that this is not a batch process. If someone wants to create a batch processing utility/script (or better still, a quick and dirty GUI for chdman), please post it here. In the meantime, for anyone who might feel a bit intimidated by the use of the Terminal... Here you go - 1) Make a new empty folder (i.e. "CHD Updates")
2) Copy the chdman utility from MAME 0.145u1 or later to the CHD Updates folder (If you don't have chdman available, follow the procedure for compiling MAME, and use the command 'make tools')
3) Open the Terminal Application
4) In Terminal, type 'cd ' (That's the letters c, d, and a space), drag the CHD Updates folder to the terminal window, and press return
5) Move a CHD file (in it's folder) to the CHD Updates folder (Setting the CHD Updates folder view to list makes the following easier)
6) Alter the name of the CHD file you wish to update (I usually place a '-' at the beginning of the file name)
7) Drag chdman to the terminal window, and type 'copy -i ' (copy[space]-i[space])
8) Drag the CHD file (Not the folder) to the Terminal window
9) Type '-o ' (-o[space] - NOTE that's the letter 'o' NOT the number '0')
10) Drag the CHD file (Not the folder) to the terminal window again
11) Use the left arrow key to move the cursor to the letter before the alteration you made in step 6, and use the delete key to alter the filename to it's original form
12) Press 'Return'
13) Observe the Terminal window. If all went well, chdman will indicate the progress of the operation, and a new CHD file will appear in the CHD file's folder with the proper name
14) When complete, move the original file (The one with the altered name) to the trash
15) (Optional) Color code the folder to indicate the CHD file has been updated
16) Move the folder containing the updated CHD file back into your ROMs directory
17) Repeat steps 5-16 as needed
The following statement is true...
The preceding statement is false.

Well, the ROMAlyzer in QMC2's recent SVN revisions supports CHD v5, including automatic updates through 'chdman copy'... but a scripted approach is probably easier for some.

I wrote a simple script to automate the process. Assuming you have all your CHDs in a folder, put the script and chdman 0.145u1 in the same folder. For some reason I have to invoke the script by typing "bash convert.sh" (instead of simply "./convert.sh") on my iMac running Lion 10.7.3. It will convert a chd to the new v5 format using the original name and adding "_new" add the end. It then deletes the old file and removes the "_new" suffix from the newly created file. If you don't have a backup of the CHDs, I'd suggest you keep your old format CHDs by removing the appropriate lines in the script. NB: It seems impossible to add a file to a post, adding the script using code tags:

PS: I'm not a command prompt guru, there are probably simpler, shorter and eleganter ways to accomplish the task, but the script worked for me.

I'm no guru either, but I am very lazy.  I haven't used this yet (.145u1 tools aren't compiling for me), but I did use a variation for the last chd update: find . -name '*\.chd' -type f -execdir bash -c 'echo "Working on $1" && mv $1 old_$1 && chdman copy -i old_$1 -o $1 && rm old_$1' {} {} \;I have chdman in my path, so depending on your setup you may have to change chdman to ./chdman, etc. The old_filename.chd file is only deleted if the conversion succeeds. As Carbon says above, to keep your old chds remove the && rm code. Run it from any directory above your chds.
