Mednafen/Beetle Saturn latest core now has MAME CHD support!
🕑 Added 2017-08-01 09:30:28 +0000 UTC Romain Tisserand is on the verge of successfully having completed the bounty 'Mednafen/Beetle Saturn MAME CHD support'! What this means, is that the latest core version now has MAME CHD support.You can convert your Saturn CD images to MAME CHD format, or even obtain an existing MAME CHD set for Saturn that you were using for MAME/MESS, and use that now with the Mednafen/Beetle Saturn core!
This came about as a byproduct of Romain and inolen looking into MAME CHD support for Redream. They had to write a from-scratch C library for interfacing with CHDs, which Mednafen/Beetle Saturn is now also using.
The same guy is also looking into the '3D Control Pad' bounty for Mednafen/Beetle Saturn, so stay tuned for more progress!

You need to ask the MAME team that question, not us. It's their format. People on our bounty system just wanted to make this happen.
Interesting, I like everything that has to do with Saturn... I have a question. What advantages do you have over the ISO standard?

I don't think there is any downside. Read more on the compression results in the linked thread

Excellent. Is there any downside to converting my Saturn set?
