If you’ve downloaded a PS2 game for AetherSX2 (the popular Android PS2 emulator) and seen folders labeled “patched,” or if you’re confused about .iso vs .chd vs .gz, you’re not alone. Let’s clear up the confusion.

Some users share pre-patched ISO/CHD files (e.g., a Japanese game patched to English).
