Is there a difference in quality or performace when you are using a more compressed file system like the cso? I read it removes files it does not need and thats how it saves room but obviously that cannot be the whole story. is there any downsampling going on?

As a matter of fact, that is the whole sotry. I own about 35 ISOs and some take a lot of space. I used the PSP ISO Compressor and compressed them to CSO format and teh game is the same except it takes less space. Unfortuanatly, the game GTA: Vice City Stories was lagged when compressed. That was the only case I saw.

Thats true, and NO it does not take files, only when you do it, for example if you use the UMD Gen V4, you can alter the files ifyou know what you are doing, then you can compress a good game by removing movies, music and UPDATE... otherwise you can cause massive damage and not load the game... in my opinion CSO is better cause it compresses at LEAST 10% of the entire game, now for GTA VCS... I dont know why it does it, sometimes its the same for other HUGE games... and there are certain games that can not be compressed.

So its up to you! I have like 50 GB of CSOs on my computer... too many games.

PSP (+[__]%): 2.80 < 1.50 > 3.40OE-A > 3.71M33-4 > 3.80m33-5 > 3.90m33-3 > 4.01m33-2 + 8gb MSPD
PS3 HD 60GB: 1.33 > 1.90 > 2.01 > 2.17 - NO OS
Nintendo DS [+[__]%]: EZ Flash 5 Plus + 1GB MicroSD + EZFlash 3in1
Nintendo Wii: 3.2U + 1GB SD Card + WiiKey 1.9s

Not at all, same loading, same saving time, same everything although SOME games can lose part of the gameplay. The only one I ever crossed was GTA: Vice City Stories.

I back him up, and second his point... CSO is better!
