Konbanwa, retro gamers!
If you love JRPGs, weird Japanese exclusives, or the best SHMUPs ever made, you’ve come to the right place. This post is all about PSX (PlayStation 1) games in CHD format – focusing on Japanese releases.

Solution: CHD compression is lossless, but audio synchronization errors occur if you converted a damaged CUE file. Use chdman verify on your CHD. If errors appear, re-rip the game.
