Hi!
First of all, thanks for the tool!
I am using tochd v0.13 with Mint 21.3 (Ubuntu 22.04), installed the script and I can convert an individual file to .chd it works without any issues. But when I run the command inside a folder with several .iso files, I will get "Skipped" for all of them. I have tried different options but I haven't been able to make it work. I am sure it may be something quite simple, but I still wasn't able to make it work : (
Any suggestions?

I have tried to recompress my entire psp collection 3 times and the -m dvd switch does not function at all. PPSSPP still warns that the resulting chd files are compressed using CD mode and not dvd mode. Please advise what troubleshooting steps I can take to assist in helping track down this bug.

For clarity, my sets were previously compressed using T7z from a ROM manager many years ago and I am still working from those files. I fed tochd a command like this. 'tochd -m dvd "*.7z"' from withing the directory holding all files. Since my Linux server runs Slackware, which can be a pain to add unsupported apps, I instead used this command from a pure Arch virtual machine that mounted the roms directory via NFS over a virtual network adapter bridged to the host OS for speed.

Tochd has worked a treat with all my other collections I have converted for direct play over the network perfectly, only with PSP being the first that requires the dvd switch from chd man. Even PS2 DVD games seem to not work unless compressed in CD mode so those all work fine.

I am using the version of tochd directly off the AUR installed with yay and I think that just about describes anything unique about my setup I can think of.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Thanks for this tool!

Think you can add direct dumping from game discs to CHD?

Hey all. I was trying to implement this myself and share, but my experience with Python is apparently not up to the task and I kept going in circles breaking tochd in different exciting ways.

As is noted here: hrydgard/ppsspp#18803 the expected hunk size for PSP CHDs is 2048, rather than the chdman dvd default of 4096. This of course results in tochd creating PSP CHDs in an unaccepted format, resulting the the notice shown in the PPSSPP pull above, and audio/video sync trouble with usage.

Ideally we should be able to specify hunk size, or simply add a parameter to choose psp conversion. IE (cd, dvd, psp) so that we can pass the '-hs 2048' flag through tochd to chdman. Sorry if the format of this request leaves a lot to be desired.

Thank you in advance for your insight and assistance.
