DiscForge CHD 2.5.1

DiscForge CHD 2.5.1

• Removed the RAM-drive extraction option; extraction uses owned disk-backed temporary files.
• The game panel replaces technical paths and lookup messages with game details: release date when available, current format and size.

DiscForge CHD 2.5.0

DiscForge CHD 2.5.0

• RAM extraction checkbox follows physical memory eligibility (>12 GiB total, >=5 GiB free). Clear guidance distinguishes available memory from an existing RAM drive; invalid/missing drives fall back to disk with a reason.
• Missing CD/DVD codec selections now receive an explanation before processing.
• PS1 cover art can fall back to the Libretro thumbnail repository.
• Compatibility with older devices writes CHD v4 using zlib, CD hunks of 9792 bytes and DVD hunks of 2048 bytes. Output may be larger; support depends on device firmware.

DiscForge CHD 2.4.0

DiscForge CHD 2.4.0

• Removed the 7-Zip executable and DLL from the application and build workflow. SharpCompress handles supported archive formats, including .7z.
• Added optional extraction to an existing verified RAM disk. Requires more than 12 GiB total physical memory and at least 5 GiB available.
• Per-game capacity checks preserve a memory reserve; unavailable or insufficient RAM uses disk with a logged reason. The final CHD is written to disk.
• RAM workspace cleanup deletes only the application's own temporary folder and never unmounts the user's drive. No driver is installed.

• Fixed RAR extraction when empty 7-Zip link fields were incorrectly treated as links.
• Safely numbered multi-track BIN sets without CUE now use a temporary CUE; the source is retained.
• PS1/PS2 identification reads disc boot information. Automatic mode chooses the system; manual mode rejects mismatches.

• Bounded crash logs and a report button that opens an email draft with a diagnostic ZIP for review.

• Different game revisions no longer collide or count as the same converted output.
• Stop Now cancels the active child process, cleans this task's temporary files and preserves sources.
• Last input folder is remembered; a newly selected input defaults to its optimized output folder.
• Codecs are selected with explained checkboxes; custom chdman and 7-Zip tools can be chosen in Settings.
