PUAE does not support chd #9

Closed sionisaac closed 7 months ago

sionisaac commented 2 years ago

I love this mod for A500 mini but I have found that none of my chd CDTV or CD32 games work the core reports "unsupported file format CHD", if I go to core information it says the format is supported by the core. I know that my CHD's are good because they work with zero issues on retroarch for windows/linux/android/retropie/mac. Support for chd files so I can use my complete collection of CDTV and CD32 games on it and ADF/IPF support. Is there likely to be an update that fixes this issue?

Edit to original post. PSX/SEGACD/PCFX/PCE CD cores all support CHD files and I've tested them and they work fine. Final Burn NeoGeoCD subsystem does not support CHD only BIN/CUE. This seems to be a problem with the amiga core PUAE. The Windows/Linux/Android/Mac versions of exactly the same core do not have issues with CHD. Is it possible to update the core manually using a nightly core?

Hey there! Thankyou for your kind words.. Personally I haven't tried CHD but you've now got me interested :-D It may be because the .nfo files need changing slightly- I found this on another github page.

The core information page says chd is supported in list of supported file types.

I used the linux terminal to copy all the core info files to my memory stick and opened them in notepad++ the info files have support for chd. I did a compare with the info files from windows retroarch and pandory. I tried to use a nightly core by changing the core directory to a sub folder off the root of my memory stick and put puae_libretro.so from the ARMF branch of nightlies in there and guess what. It does exactly the same thing "unsupported file format CHD". This is really annoying me now I know that I can convert the chd's back to bin/cue but that is not the point all other retroarch systems support chd for the PUAE core. I even tried it on KMFDMANIC build for my PSC and it works fine on that too. I take it this will not get fixed as no one else seems to have a problem with it.

The new v3 version has chd support for almost all CD-based cores. Try it here: https://github.com/TeamPandory/pandory500/releases/tag/v3
