About This File
Hello everyone,
Here's a Windows tool called Retro Game Compressor. This is a standalone program; do not place it in the plugins folder.
The goal of this application is to simplify the compression of retro games with an all-in-one interface. Instead of manually using multiple command-line tools, the program lets you choose a console, select the source folder, choose the output folder, and start the compression from a clean graphical interface.
Designed to be portable and standalone on Windows 11, the application doesn't require manual installation of the .NET runtime. The necessary compression tools are grouped in a "tools" folder.
Currently supported systems and formats:
- PlayStation: converting .cue / .ccd / .toc to .chd
- PlayStation 2: converting .iso / .cue / .ccd / .toc to .chd
- PlayStation Portable: converting .iso / .cso to .chd and .iso / .chd to .cso
- Sega CD / Mega-CD: conversion from .cue / .ccd / .toc to .chd
- Sega Dreamcast: converting .gdi / .cue to .chd
- Sega Saturn: converting .cue / .ccd / .toc to .chd
- TurboGrafx-CD / PC Engine CD: converting .cue / .ccd / .toc to .chd
- Panasonic 3DO: converting .cue / .iso to .chd
- Nintendo GameCube: Converts .iso / .gcm / .gcz to .chd / .rvz
- Nintendo Wii: Converts .iso / .wbfs to .rvz
- Xbox 360: Converts .iso to .zar
Additional Features:
- English and French interface
- Automatic detection of included tools
- Option to replace the compressed file in the source folder
- Option to delete the source file after compression
- Subfolder management
- Progress bar indicating the number of files remaining
- Displays the space saved in GB
- Temporary conversion workflow if needed, for example, from WBFS to ISO then RVZ, or PSP CSO/CHD conversions via temporary ISO files
**If compression methods are missing for other consoles, I will add them. Please note that consoles using the zip format will not be included.
