Psp games in .chd format aren't visible in ES.

windg

Raspberry Pi3 B+
Official PSU RetroPie 4.8.6, (install from rpi imager with latest updates)
Roms in a usb stick Fat32
Ppsspp : v1.16.6
chdman 0.261

I converted my psp games from .iso to .chd format because of the upcoming new version of ppspp 1.17 that adds support for .chd files.

To convert them i use this command : for i in *.iso; do chdman createcd -i "$i" -o "${i%.*}.chd"; done

The issue i have is that the games aren't visible in ES, also skyscraper can't see them. I haven't update ppsspp yet to the latest version i don't know if this is the issue.

edit: i add ".chd" in peas.json of skyscraper and is working.

Given that there's no PSP emulator in RetroPie that works with .chd files, why do you expect this extension to work in EmulationStation ? Or is this a feature request ?

@mitu i was thinking that .chd files are recognized by ES in general and it was independent from the emulator. I thought that was a bug.

I found the answers in the Doc's. i added the extension in the es_systems file and now chd files are visible.

No, the list of extensions accepted is a system parameter and not a global list. When the new PPSSPP version will be added in RetroPie, the extension list for ES's psp system will be updated accordingly.
