ISO Vs CSO

mohammed517 · 02-04-2008, 03:41 AM

Hey guys

I recently converted and iso to cso i saved out on about 400mb space. My question is what are the cons with a cso? 400mb are alot

there are no cons about cso's from what ive been using

I think that the load times are a bit slower, because the PSP needs to uncompress the game. Also some games don't seem to work as CSO, but that is very rare. I think I only came upon one game that I had to keep as an ISO.

its the graphical qualities of the game is reduced when you convert it to cso

No. CSO compression is lossless. And the only games I've come across that don't work well compressed are the GTA games. So the only disadvantage to using compression is longer loading times.

GTA worked fine for me as a CSO. It was the Sims games that kept crashing.

the game that kept crashing as a CSO was GTA vice city all of my other games work fine compressed

CSO's lag for most games. You can increase your game speed but that uses your battery in 30 minutes.

CSO's load slower in loading screens and gameplay For example Rainbow Six Vegas And Midnight Club lag badly when playing. Some games work perfectly fine when CSO others work better when ISO's u should go by just testing them. usually bigger games work worse as CSO's

CSO is crap in GTA games, it feels like playing vice city on a 500MHz PC, lagg lagg lagg...

When I Use CSO On My Slim CFW 5.00 m33-4 Racing Games Lagged Like NFSUC And Fast And The Furious But When I Uncompressed Into ISO Worked Awesome But Alot Of My Other Games Work Great Is CSO Like Naruto, Worms 2 Stuff Like That I Guess It Depends On The PSP Idk lol

is there a way to uncompress gta games(or any iso)?

Canada2113 · 12-18-2008, 04:10 AM

I have al my games as CSO and i've not noticed any lag until the 4.xx firmwares. I keep my cpu at the default setting too. Its a matter of finding the best setup for you.

yea thats pretty much a problem with .csos(sometimes)
they cause games to crash or "lag"

swordfish815508 · 12-29-2008, 07:09 AM

when im playing SOME racing games as a CSO i get loading lags even with the compression turned down and my CPU turned up to 333 they only work right if their an ISO which isnt a problem i just wanna know why. is there a plugin i can get to fix that or im just out of luck
