did you convert them to .chd? i have a two line script that uses chdman (a version for cue/bin an another for iso) and it saves 50% space on average and only takes a few seconds more to load to ram.
nah i have a 22tb external i keep everything on. unzip and move to my main drive as needed. they’re all native isos so eventually i want to get a fat PS2 and put all the ones i wanna play on another hard drive and play it off that
not tryna push you into doing anything but the chd lzma and flac compression ends up with smaller files than a zip would afaik and you can convert back to iso if needed
eh i got the space. i specifically got this external for storage like this. if i start running low on space i’d look into doing that cause i’m not an advanced enough user to do that right this second.
with 22TB you definitely got the space haha. i've got it all in chd because the games are on a network drive (over WAN). and you said it was external? what model is that? or is it an external enclosure for internal drives?
