There is also some concern that game data is lost in this conversion process, and so if you want to maintain pristine files this may not be the format for you. It will also compress the game files to reduce file size, but bear in mind that this is a lossy compression, meaning that you cannot go back to a different file type after converting to PBP (for example, you can switch back and forth with CHD files). Many PS1 games came in multiple discs, and there is a special tool that will let you convert multi-disc PS1 games into one single PBP file. If using an older version of MacOS, you may have to use MacPorts which contains an older version of CHDman (thanks Lourens for the tip).This code above could be altered for ISO files by using “*.iso” instead of “*.cue”.Thanks to the Redditors from this post for figuring all this out.

If you would like to try your hand at it, here is a pretty good guide. The MAME-developed tool for CHD conversion is called CHDman, which works well but requires some knowledge of command line to get working. If you happen to have only BIN files without their corresponding CUE file, use this tool to easily generate CUE files. The most common file type to convert to CHD are BIN/CUE files.
