Happy emulating.

A common myth is that compressed ROMs lag. The opposite is true. Because PS2 discs had slow read speeds (4x DVD), the emulator actually decompresses CHD files faster than a mechanical hard drive can read a raw ISO. On an SSD, CHD files often load faster than ISOs because there is less physical data to read. | Emulator / Device | CHD Support
