chdman createfloppy -i input.img -o output.chd Best practice:
for %f in (*.chd) do chdman verify -i "%f" Many arcade games (e.g., Gauntlet Legends , Carnevil , Golden Tee Golf ) use hard disks stored as CHD. chd files for mame
for %f in (*.cue) do chdman createcd -i "%f" -o "%~nf.chd" chdman createfloppy -i input
chdman extractcd -i game.chd -o output.cue chd files for mame
To force a specific version:
mame psx -cdrom /path/to/game.chd Create CHDs from multiple CUE files:
dd if=/dev/sdb of=hdimage.img chdman createhd -i hdimage.img -o game.chd | Format | Compression | MAME support | Use case | |--------|-------------|--------------|----------| | CHD | Excellent (zlib/FLAC/zstd) | Native | All MAME disk-based games | | ISO | None (or weak) | Via -cdrom | Simpler CD images | | CUE/BIN | None | Via -cdrom | Redump-style CDs | | CSO | Good | Not native | PSP emulators | | PBP | Good | Not native | PlayStation on PSP |
