ISO/CSO compability on PPSSPP

[Tsuruga]

Hello Henrik thank you for your great contribution on developing this great emu!
I have a few question regarding to ISO/CSO type that PPSSPP can play here it is:
can it play Untouched ISO? or a Patched one?
and from your opinion if the emulator can play both which one is safer to play? Thx for reply

[Henrik]

I don't know why you would patch ISO, they're good as they are, dumped straight off the UMD.

Of course, compressing into CSO doesn't hurt, that doesn't change the contents.

I haven't been in the PSP scene for some years now but I think ISO's need to be patched (for some reason) to work on the new custom firmwares.

That was a very long time ago.

i think is a game compatibility problem, because (just an ex.) ff crisis core load when is in ISO and CSO format too

Ok henrik found the bug, in android and windows, if the extension cso is uppercase .CSO the app crashed.

And loading times are diferents for CSO and ISO?

[Henrik]

If there's a difference it will be very small.

Thanks

On the PSP the loading times did show a very miniscule but noticeable difference. But, since we're dealing with 1GHz+ CPU's, monster GPUs and a hell of a great emulator reading from really good SD Cards, you won't notice the difference under PPSSPP (or any emulator).
