For PSP games, this often means taking a standard .ISO file (a direct copy of a UMD game disc) and compressing it into the .CSO format. A .CSO file is essentially the same game data but compressed, significantly reducing the file size. For example, a rip of Tekken 6 can be as small as 508MB as a CSO, compared to the full ISO. However, this compression can sometimes negatively impact performance. Some users have reported that a CSO version of Tekken 6 can have loading times that are double that of an ISO.
