Compressed or uncompressed?

Hi, I was looking in the forum, but it is difficult to find in another language and I have to use a translator.

The issue is to ask a simple question.

When playing games that are best used dolphin compressed or uncompressed?

That some extra benefit for using them uncompressed?

Already thank you very much for your response.

It is difficult to understand you give us examples or screenshots it could be easier

Some dev said it shouldn't be slower compressed... but some user said it did... I haven't noticed a difference but not compared closely either.

Compressed ISOs aren't really compressed, they are ISOS without the garbage data, the files used by the game remain untouched...

KHRZ's statement is correct.

I also have read that there was something like less than 5fps difference. I don't believe this was even verified. And it was completed on a much older revision and not the previous stable release.

A benefit to using a compressed file is the reduction of size. Unless you got the extra space I would compress them. And I haven't noticed any negative effects using compressed files.

Ok, thank you all for taking away this doubt
