: The CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data) format is lossless, meaning you can decompress a CHD back into a standard .bin/.cue and it will still match the original verification hash.
Unlike lossy formats, CHD preserves every bit of the original disc data. Single File Management:
If you prefer command lines, convert your CHD back to BIN temporarily: chdman extract input.chd output.bin Then use a checksum tool (like CertUtil on Windows or shasum on Linux) to generate the SHA-1. Compare it to the Redump database.
: "Verified" means the file's MD5 or SHA-1 checksum matches the official database entries in the Redump.org library.
