Description : libchdr is a standalone library for reading MAME CHDv1-v5 formats.
The code is based off of MAME's old C codebase which read
up to CHDv4 with OS-dependent features removed,
and CHDv5 support backported from MAME's current C++ codebase.
CHD is a lossless compression format originally developed for MAME,
for the hard-drive contents of certain arcade machines.
It has since been used in several other emulators as a means
of storing CD-ROM game data. For CD-based games,
it compresses the contents of a disc image
(.cue + .bin files) to a single .chd file.

* retroarch
The library is sadly unversionned at the moment:

The package would be maintained inside the Games team.
