It’s something I’ll have to look into at some point if nobody beats me to it. Something like as a template for further development would be good. 8.3 names (reminds me something like hungarian notation) are horrible, i need a tool dependency to know what game is (even if i have 10 or 12 games of a system).Ī) Yes, I’d like to see something like that, there are some open source CD mounting programs on Windows, but they need a bit of work. There’re sets already renamed (No-Intro, Tosec) and those names and understandable by human beings. I know that last debate was about what difficult is to rename all sets again, but in mess that has no sense. That will make chd more usefull for other people and perhaps cd images are presserved in chd instead of compressed bin/cue with 7z.ī) In your way on make Mame more open minded, what abouting getting GPU acceleration, not to improve graphics but for use that piece of expensive hardware that can make some litte things such as triangles fly…Ĭ) Why are you using 8.3 names for roms in mess. You can follow any responses to this entry through the RSS 2.0 feed.Ī) What about chd mounting in Windows? Are some plans for supporting wincdemu or daemontools? or perhaps a Pismo file mount ( ) plugin, so we get a. This naturally makes CHD better for storing large amounts of data, which was it’s original purpose. Of course some data just plain doesn’t compress well, so you’re not going to see those saving everywhere but you’re likely to see on average a 20-40% reduction in CHD size for all non Laserdisc CHDs. LZMA seems to give about 20% better compression than ‘zip’ on regular data.

New V5 format supports ‘zip’, ‘lzma’ (7-zip) and ‘flac’įLAC seems to give about 40% better compression than ‘zip’ for audio data (CD AUDIO tracks) Old V4 (and below) CHD format used ‘zip’ compression internally. In case you haven’t been following any of this here’s a summary:

Just a heads up, because unless there are any bugs this will be the expected version from the next release, as opposed to the previous FLAC trial runs.

The created CD CHDs are SHA1-compatible with the previous ones, so none of the software lists need updating thankfully. LD ones are also likely to shrink very slightly as FLAC is being used for the audio part of those now (don’t expect big savings tho, they’ve always been video-heavy and lossless video compression is always going to give big files) The LZMA improvements mean there will also be benefits to non-CD CHDs.

I haven’t tested / used this code yet, so I can’t say how compressions compare (if data is being optimally ordered for FLAC etc.) but you should see substantial gains, even over the previous versions I posted due to the use of LZMA which in tests on regular romsets usually yields around a 20% improvement in compression. This includes a refined / cleaned up version of the FLAC support I was working on (which is now official) as well as a number of other improvements (LZMA support based on the 7-zip code is also in there) Aaron has checked in a change to the CHD format featuring his further work on the format, and bumping the version to v5.
