    what you have here is one of the more common issues with MAME (well, not so much a problem, just what i tend to notice here most often when it comes to this emulator). for starters, would you mind giving the full title of the game your trying to play? my first assumption is that you mistakenly downloaded the child ROMs and forgot about or didn't realize you needed the parent copy of said ROMs for it to play. as for the CHD files, i don't remember if those are hosted here at EP (probably not because they can be huge sometimes), if not then you might want to use google to find those.

    if you could list a few of the titles you downloaded that didn't work then i could quite easily point out the issue as theres not all too many possible problems in this case. exact title that showed up on the list in MAME if you don't mind, for example: parent ROM Cadash (World) > Child ROM Cadash (any of the different language versions. france, germany, italy, japan, US, or World, Prototype)

    see, that example right there points out one of the simplest of all problems someone might have with getting a game to run on MAME. to play any of those child ROMs (doesn't matter which), you'll also have to download and keep the parent ROM in the same folder location (wherever you set as the ROM directory) as well as it has a some files the child ROM(s) require to run. much the same with CHD files. CHD files however, as i said above, tend to be rather big so make sure you have enough space depending on the total file size(s).
