The .chd (Compressed Hunks of Data) format was originally developed by the MAME project as a lossless compression format for the hard-drive contents of arcade machines and has since been adopted for storing CD/DVD-based game data across many emulators. By employing block‑level compression using the LZMA algorithm for data tracks and FLAC for audio tracks, CHD provides high compression ratios without any data loss.

(Note: extractcd is used for CD-based games like PS1, while extractraw is often used for DVD-based games like PS2, though extractcd generally handles the cues/toc logic better).
