Part 4: Where to Find Top PS2 CHD ROMs (Legality & Sources)

Disclaimer: The author does not condone piracy. You should only download ROMs for games you physically own. Rip your disc using imgburn to ISO, then convert to CHD

If you legally own the game, you have two options:

  1. Rip your disc using imgburn to ISO, then convert to CHD.
  2. Download pre-converted CHD sets from Internet Archive (Search: "PS2 CHD Redump").

The "Redump" Standard: The "Top" PS2 CHD ROMs come from the Redump project. This ensures the hash matches the original retail disc. Avoid "Unknown" or "Junk" dumps from forum links.

File Naming Convention: A top-tier CHD ROM should be named like this: God of War (USA) (v1.01).chd Avoid: GOW.iso (Too vague, likely a bad dump).
