Turbo CD Zip Files
-
Question: Is it possible to run TurboGrafx CD or PC Engine CD games from the zip files, without unzipping them into .bin and .cue components. The official PC Engine page says .zip is an acceptable file extension, but is that only for chip card games, or does it apply to CD based games as well?

@skepticalgeel You need to uncompress the cd games. You can compress them to a single chd file to save space.
-
@skepticalgeel No, CD based games won't run this way.

Thank you. What tools can be used to create the chd file? Also, is it one file for all the games, or a separate chd file per game?

@skepticalgeel CHD or compressed hunks of data (or compressed hard disk depending on who you are talking to) started with MAME..sorta speak...
If you have the mame package from the website there you have the tools to compress them. You might want to use a GUI program to make it easier. QMC2 has one.
You will need to compress each bin/iso individually. That is one iso (bin/cue..ect..) one chd file. They are much smaller even smaller than a psx .bpb format and no cue/bin or cue/iso ect needed.
Good luck! :D
