What? That part actually is explained in the FAQ. A CHD is already compressed. To zip a CHD is silly. You'd be extracting the entire CHD to memory, then extracting the part of the CHD that needed to be read. The folder is there so you don't have random chd files scattered around the roms folder, having to jump through hoops to figure out which chd went to which game (or if not, it's a happy side effect).


Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
