Description

BizHawk start cd system loading ISO files that are big in size for some games.
Is possible convert games cds in compression format (MDS or ISZ) where the user mount the game in an virtual drive (Alcohol or others drive emulators).
PCSX2 and others emulators support load games using drives or virtual drives.
Games will has less size and load more fast and even compressed MDS and ISZ format use few resources.
Thanks for read my post.

Research direction

Start by tracing BizHawk's existing ISO-loading path for CD systems and identify where disc image formats are selected. Define the supported .isz or MDS behavior from the request, then verify that a compressed disc image can be loaded through the requested virtual-drive workflow without breaking existing ISO loading.
