Convert Game ROMs to Compressed Hunks of Data (CHD) file format or RVZ file format

Automatically generate missing .cue files for your .bin files!

Why?

CHD (“Compressed Hunks of Data”) files are compressed data files that can be used on most CD-based systems. They are in a lossless compression format, meaning that they perfectly preserve all game data while reducing file sizes. CHDs were originally developed for MAME to compress CD-based arcade games, but now they are compatible with a variety emulators and CD-based consoles.

RVZ files are compressed also compressed files, but they are built for Dolphin Emulator specifically
