At SmartDV, we believe there’s a better way to do IP.
Whether you’re sourcing design IP for your next SoC, ASIC, or FPGA, or seeking verification solutions to put your chip design through its paces, we can quickly and reliably customize our extensive portfolio to meet your unique needs.
Don’t allow other IP suppliers to force one-size-fits-all cores into your design. Get the IP you need, tailored to your specs, with SmartDV: IP Your Way.
A: Only with an XStation or MODE ODE (supports CHD directly) – or burn back to CD from BIN/CUE.
CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data) is a for disc-based games. ✅ Saves 30–50% space vs. BIN/CUE ✅ Works perfectly with DuckStation, RetroArch, and Batocera ✅ No quality loss – same CRC as redump
The compression is lossless, meaning no data is lost from the original disc, and performance remains excellent within emulators.
If you have a collection of raw Japanese PS1 dumps in .BIN/.CUE format, you can easily compress them yourself using a free command-line utility called . Step 1: Download CHDMAN
without losing a single frame of animation or a note of the soundtrack. Simplification
If you have a collection of Japanese PSX ROMs in .BIN/.CUE format, you can easily convert them to CHD yourself using a free tool called (built into MAME, but available as a standalone utility). Step-by-Step Conversion Guide
Many Japanese developers utilized the full capacity of the CD-ROM for orchestrated soundtracks.
All companies claim to put customers first. Why, then, do so many IP suppliers decline to customize their cores? At SmartDV, you’ll find the quality, reliable IP you need, plus the flexibility to optimize it for your design. We pride ourselves on rigorous testing and strive for 100% code and functional coverage of all IP before deployment.
