Description

I dont actually know if model 3 has a hard disc or another media described by chd, but I do know that the mame core, which this core reuses the set from, doesn't accept chds, because it requires the zip files to boot, and accepting both would mean scanning the same game twice if it did or using the wrong entry point

Research direction

Locate the core info file and inspect its accepted-extension metadata. Confirm how the MAME-reused set handles ZIP files, then verify the metadata no longer advertises CHD; the issue is done when the accepted extensions match the supported entry point.
