: Sega Saturn games often come as one .cue file and dozens of separate .bin audio tracks. CHD merges all of these into one single file per game.

Most Saturn games you find online are in format. Redump is a preservation project that creates perfect 1:1 copies of discs. For the Saturn, that usually means:
Unlike converting a video to MP4 or an audio track to MP3, CHD is entirely . When an emulator reads a CHD file, it decodes the data exactly as it was written on the original disc. You will not experience downgraded graphics, missing audio, compressed sound, or altered gameplay. 3. Decluttered Game Folders
The good news is that support for CHD has become a standard feature in nearly all modern and actively developed Sega Saturn emulators. Here is the compatibility at a glance:
If you are building a retro rig, a Batocera drive, or a Steam Deck SD card, Convert everything to CHD. You will save hundreds of gigabytes, reduce file clutter by 95%, and experience faster loading times.
To avoid converting files one by one, most enthusiasts use a simple "CUE to CHD" batch script. You place chdman.exe and the script in your game folder, run it, and let it do the heavy lifting.
To convert your existing library, the most reliable method is using , a command-line tool included with the MAME distribution
If you have a collection of .bin/.cue (or .ccd/.img/.sub from CloneCD), here is the definitive way to convert them to CHD.
However, there is one caveat: If you are using an Satiator (ODE for Saturn) or Fenrir , stick to BIN/CUE. ODEs rely on raw sector reads. While some ODEs are adding CHD support, not all do. For emulation (PC/Android/Mac), CHD is superior.
