Quick, silly question -

If the original CHD image size is 8Gb, will it work in the game if I use chdman to re-burn it to a 16Gb CF card? (Since it's all I have..)

Or does the size have to match exactly? (i.e. Will CHDMAN overwrite the head/sector setup and cause the 16Gb to appear like a 8Gb for the game?)

I think it should work. doesn't cost anything to try. I can't remember what the maximum drive size most of these games recognize but think it is like 40gb.

I reduce the chd to minimum size and burn on large CF card all the time so know it works in most instances.

Cool, that's what I was hoping to hear.

In the past, I've had some image burners (not CHD-related) permanently limit the size of SD/CF cards, and wanted to prevent this from occurring if it wasn't going to work.

Thanks -
