Okay. So I downloaded the newest version of MAME and its doing something the previous version didn't. Previously, I was able to use the command line to launch MAME to run Philips CD-i games. Simply "mame64.exe cdimono1 -zeldgam" for example. For Wand of Gamelon. Worked perfectly fine in the previous version of MAME. But now it gives me that message about one or more files not being there and it can't run. Thing is, they ARE there. It even says specifically "zelda - the wand of gamelon (1993)(philips)(eu)[!]" is missing. Its not. Its in the ROM folder with that exact name. I even renamed it by copy and pasting what the prompt said, just to be double sure my eyes wern't being dumb and missing something.
It even fails when I like MAME64 and navigate with the interface. I go in, go to the bios and select them, then it brings up the list of potential games like it does, and I navigate to Wand of Gamelon which is white and bright and says "working" at the bottom. No deal. Tells me the same thing. That the file that's totally there, isn't. I have to start the bios with no game, then go to the TAB menu and to the option to insert a disk, then navigate through my files to find the CHD.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it?
I mean, am I doing something wrong BESIDES playing Zelda CD-i games?
