Format description
A compressed form of an ISO image file, compressed ISO (CSO) files are often used in gaming, especially for PlayStation Portable (PSP) games. They work in a similar way as ISO files but because they are compressed, they require less storage space. The drawback is that they could cause loading speeds to be a little bit slower than those of uncompressed ISO files. CSO files can be used on emulators or modded devices that support the format.Common questions about converting to CSO
