That's perhaps a platform specific bug...
For me what you have to do doesn't make sense according to the rom naming philosophy of MAME/MESS (which doesn't mean i think you made a configuration mistake, hence me thinking of a bug).
Anyway, Kaylee's problem is different as it works fine with MESS and not with QMC2.

Hello René, just a question.
The new file open dialog is not my favorite.
I miss the old file open dialog.
Is it possible to make it selectable between the new and old dialog?

And I'm saying that doesn't work for me, and I created the mac_hdd list. As distributed by major torrent sites it's got the CHDs zipped, because that's how I shipped it. I've just tried and here ./mess macclasc -hard1 mac608 works perfectly fine without any zipfile involved. it loads and boots fine both if I put mac608.chd in roms/mac_hdd/mac608/, in roms/mac_hdd/ and directly in roms/

Hello René, just a question.
The new file open dialog is not my favorite.
I miss the old file open dialog. The file-dialogs are now the Qt built-in ones because the platform-specific ones are different from platform to platform and desktop system... and the ones from Windows 8 even caused crashes when certain permissions were not met... so I've decided to only use the Qt built-in ones. Actually, that change is not so new  . Is it possible to make it selectable between the new and old dialog? It's possible, but I'd need to add support for it at many places...

Yeah, you've got it -- I'll add it when time permits ! The problem remains though that users may see unusual behavior just because of the system's own dialogs (which are supposed to be "better", but it's actually more of a problem than a solution  ).

Yip MESS sees it, as it's set up correctly, only qmc2 doesn't see the chd files

Please check working directory and ROM path. EDIT: the working directory should be the same that you use (implicitly) when you run MESS from the command line!

On a nearly topic, and perhaps you already know it, but i just realized that even if the chds are launched without a problem from QMC2, the softlist checker doesn't see them (grey icon).

What does "mess64 -verifysoftlist <related_soft_list>" return for those entries?
