Pcsx2: (Suggestion) Add PSX PBP Support

Created on 14 Nov 2017  路  6Comments  路  Source: PCSX2/pcsx2

Would PSX PBP's be possible to add since ePSXe and PCSX-R support them. They take up less space and combine multi disc into one file keeping the directory clean

Enhancement / Feature Request PSX Mode Postponed

Not to derail this, but PBP has lost favorability in Retroarch, at least, in favor of MAME's CHD files. They have a better compression ratio, can be batch compressed, and don't modify game content during the compression. The only downside is that you can't combine discs.

Edit: Anther advantage is that it could be used for both PSX and PS2 CDs.

You're going to have to link an explanation for it, we don't know what this is.

PBP is a Archive used for PSP EBOOTS not sure what else to tell you or what info you need

doesn't gzip work for you?

It's too early for it now but yes, it can be included some day. It would be very similar to other compressed / indexed formats that we already support. The support code for a new format is all there.
But yea, too early! ;)

+1 for PBP support!
