About this app

CHDroid is the ultimate tool for converting your game ROMs into the highly compressed CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data) format, directly from your Android device!

Whether you're managing large CD/DVD-based game libraries or optimizing your storage for emulators like DuckStation, RetroArch, Redream, or PPSSPP, CHDroid makes it fast, easy, and mobile-friendly.

🔧 Key Features:
→ Batch Processing
Select an entire folder, choose the actions to perform on the files, and start. CHDroid takes care of the rest.

→ Background Service
Conversion runs in the background so you can freely use other apps. A persistent notification keeps you updated with progress.

→ Automatic Saving
Converted files are automatically saved in the same directory as the original source.

→ Available Actions
Apply various operations like:
• Compress to CHD
• Extract CHD
• Repack CHD
• Verify CHD
• Get CHD Info
• Merge BIN files

→ Global Action Assignment
Assign a default action to all selected files at once, perfect when working with large ROM folders.

→ Pause and Resume
Need to stop the process temporarily? Pause the conversion and resume it later without data loss.

→ Cue Parser and Binary Detection
Automatically detects and processes CUE/BIN files correctly, no manual fixing needed.

→ Smart CD/DVD Detection
Detects if a CHD was created from a CD or DVD and extracts it properly.

→ Optimized for Landscape
A redesigned interface built specifically for horizontal (landscape) usage, ideal for tablets and handheld devices.

→ UI Customization
Choose between light and dark themes, and even set your favorite accent color.

Ratings and reviews

didn't work for me . first there were file permission issues , i put files in easy to reach places , but it stayed on "waiting" with no progress . there's also an ad every time you try to do something . i used termux to install chdman with the help of chatgpt and that works perfectly . can't say if it's a bad app or just not working on my S24 Ultra .

Unfortunately for me this failed to convert multiple different bin/cue files to chd. Also, the English translation is confusing and generally not very good.

Does exactly what you need it to with an efficient design, ads can be turned off, but are unintrusive if you wanna support the dev.
