(Zlib Compressed ISO), which offers similar compression but faster access speeds. Trade-offs

| Tool | Purpose | |------|---------| | | Create/extract PSP ISOs | | CISO / CSO Compressor (MaxCSO) | Best compression tool, multi-threaded | | PSP ISO Compressor | Simple GUI for CSO conversion | | YACC (Yet Another CSO Compressor) | Command-line high compression | cso psp archive
