Description
Hello everyone,
I recentry tried to convert my PSP iso files (Redump & No-Intro) to CHD with chdman createdvd. In the past, this would cause issues with retroachievements, where the games would not be recognized. chdman createcd worked, but chdman createdvd did not.
Howver, there seem to have been updates to the ppsspp core, where now, both Redump & No-Intro games converted with chdman createdvd do actually work.
After converting all my files, I then tried to convert the PSP Minis as well. However, these games still don't work with chdman createdvd. They do work with chdman createcd.
So it seems that whatever fix was introduced in the PPSSPP core, it did not fix the PSP Minis.
Best wishes,
Sirius
Expected behavior
Retroachievements recognizes the CHD file.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Convert a PSP Minis .iso to chd using chdman createdvd.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the PPSSPP core with a PSP Minis ISO converted using chdman createdvd, then compare it with the working chdman createcd case. Verify whether RetroAchievements recognizes the createdvd CHD after loading the game; the issue is done when PSP Minis converted this way are recognized.
