I'm about to start converting my PC Engine library, which will take a while, but I'll come back with the results.

ZIP (104GB) to CHD (73.8GB) (Was missing a few USA must-have games (About 8 Non-Redump), so the numbers are a little off, but it should give you a good idea.) SEGA CD - Official USA Releases Only and Redump Validated

Still, you do have to keep in mind that you'll most likely never be able to restore the files to a ClrMAME Pro verifiable state, or at least I don't know how yet.

So, taking into account that RAR is the most common archive compression for maximum compression, this CHD archive compression does have space benefits. To give you an even better idea, I have 15 unplayable PC Engine RAR files that amount to 4.5GBs, with the same files in the playable CHD taking up 3.84GB. The big thing here is that the compression format allows for the usage of FLAC audio, said archive is a playable, and it tidies up your folders. Overall though? I had about 14.9GB of TurboGrafx-CD (Every single game released) in unplayable ZIPs and now I have 10.8GB of playable CHDs. It's pretty random, with the only games seeing the biggest size drop being the ones with audio that can be compressed to FLAC. How long this will take depends on how good your PC is, but you can be certain it'll take quite a while.

Step 5: Copy the “chdman.exe” and “Cue or GDI to CHD.bat” to the folder containing your extracted PC Engine CD/TurboGrafx-CD or Sega CD/Mega CD games, then run “Cue or GDI to CHD.bat”.

This means all multi-disc games are unplayable until it is fixed.

Step 4: Move any SEGA CD multidisc games or SEGA CD 32X games you may have to a seperate directory as they aren't supported by lr-genesis-plus-gx and must be played with lr-pico-drive's Disk Image Append under Disk Control in RGUI's Quick Menu when you reach the point that you need to switch discs.Īs of the Disk Image Append function of RetroArch is broken.

Step 3: If you have any games compressed in typical non-playable archives like ZIP, RAR, or 7Z, then extract them I advise doing so to seperate folders to find games with broken cues faster,ĬHDMAN.EXE has to be able to find the CUEs and the files listed in the CUEs in the same folder it will search subfolders, but the new CHDs will show up in the directory you run the BAT, so make sure you use it somewhere smart and not the ROOT of a drive. Step 2: Extract the folder from the archive above and the two files it contains somewhere you'll keep track of it, for later use. Remember, always check batch files with your favorite text editor before running them, though I promise both the batch file below just contains that one line from the post in the credits below, while the "chdman.exe" was taken from the latest version of MAME (v0.200) as of.

However, keep in mind that the next time CHDMAN undergoes a complete version update that the CHDs made with it will be incompatible until the CHD support in RetroArch is expanded from its current V1-V5 support to V1-V6 support. I'll try to keep the ZIP below updated, but it is a good idea to get the newest and best version of "chdman.exe" from the latest MAME release. Now then, the two cores I mentioned above can play games in this format, so that means that you can finally compress PC Engine CD/TurboGrafx-CD and Sega CD/Mega CD games. Now then, CHD stands for Compressed Hunk of Data, which any of you familiar with MAME should be aware of, and is a playable archive format. Yeah, I know lr-beetle-supergrafx also has support for CHD as well, but I don’t believe it serves any practical purpose.

To any Dreamcast users out there, you need to know that Reicast doesn't support CHD V5: it only supports CHD V4 and that version was not lossless on GDI Dreamcast games.įirst of all, I believe only lr-beetle-pce-fast (For PC Engine CD/TurboGrafx-CD) and lr-genesis-plus-gx (For Sega CD/Mega CD) currently support the CHD format on the Pi 3 (hope lr-pcsx-rearmed gets support since CHD is quite a bit better than PBP, aside from not supporting multi-disc games in a single archive), so if you aren’t or can’t use those cores/systems then you can safely ignore this post.
