any place to find a large collection of .CHDs (PS1)? (lemmy.world)

Starting to build my library, and ROM size hasn't been an issue now until I got to PS1.

The file sizes aren't MASSIVE, but it's a little annoying to download each individual .CUE/.BIN, and convert to .CHDs.

I looked at some torrents, but they're mostly a mishmash of formats and clearly put together by someone that is not well organized.

I've had success finding directories of chd's after searching for something with "archive" ".org" "ps1" "psx" and "chd" as possible search terms.

In retrospect, this now seems very obvious but thank you, this worked wonderfully.

Check r/roms megathread stickied at top

Vimms lair is a good choice, though i don't think they're in .chd by default, rather just .iso, or a compressed .iso format. It's highly consistent in naming conventions, and has a pretty damn near full collection. Main downside is limited downloading speed, and no concurrent downloads, but if you're just looking to download games you're interested in and not every ps1 game, it should be fine

yea, that's what I've been using so far, but the individual downloads + converting them has been a bit annoying, hence why I was looking for a way to eliminate a few steps from the workflow.

Emudeck has a really nice tool to mass convert a folder to .chd and as far as the rims go I usually just go to the mega thread on /r/roms or you can go to vimm.com

Vimm.com, is that your digital marketing partner, or is it mine?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Oh whoops, it was vimm.net. My bad. I honestly wasn't sure. I figured Google would sort it out for anyone just typing in vimm

download roms ffom here https://myrient.erista.me/files/No-Intro/Non-Redump%20-%20Sony%20-%20PlayStation/ and use namDHC, no other way, sorry

Why do you need chds instead Isos? not criticism, im just curious.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Probably for a MiSTer setup. It has a PlayStation core
