Whoops sorry about that. I have no idea how I missed that part regarding the favourites. Anyways I tested it out again in favourites and it's still displaying correctly for me. Here's a screen:

I'm 100% sure the data for displaying the title is inside that mame.txt. But if you a) looked inside the txt file and it looks correct and b) it displays fine in unfiltered, then it surely isn't the mame.txt. But just in case I would delete your mame.txt and since you have the XML now, you can point to it in your cfg, then go to the mame emulator configuration screen and re-generate the romlist.
And if that doesn't work then one must assume the problem is associated to filtering. But I would have no idea how to diagnose that.
So you’re saying that I should have specific chd folder within the roms folder, just to hold the chd files that have corresponding zip files? So it should look like this:
C:/mame/roms/chd/kinst/kinst.chd
Thanks again.
No. Paths can be setup however you want it.
It doesn't matter if you do
My Roms/Mame Roms/kinst.zip
..../kinst/kinst.chd
or
My Roms/Mame ROMS/kinst.zip
My Roms/Mame CHD/kinst/kinst.chd
If you can boot the game then no need to mess around with it. I was only trying to say don't associate both the zip and chd files in your cfg. Otherwise, when you generate, you will have 2 instances of the same game.
