You might also be able to use ecm to strip the error correction data from the image before you compress it. Never tried it directly in an emulator or mounting the image though, so it might not work. It does make most images much more compressable though.
I use this format for all my PSX images (and any multi-track for that matter).

sorry to bring this thread up, but man this is such a great program I didn't even realize.....
Finally tackled my collection of approximately 50-60 psx games last night. For the ones I hadn't opened yet, instead of breaking the shrinkwrap plastic, I just downloaded the rom. Problem with this is depending on the source will come in like 3-4 different formats.... so I had a collection of CCD, IMG, BIN, ISO etc etc... some had SUB or CUE files... some didn't..... enough to make your OCD go crazy... you know who you are
anyway back to story... not only did it fix the formatting problem, it also puts the file in a folder of the correct and consistant naming convention. So if your collection has lots of codenames for roms like FF7.bin instead of "Final Fantasy VII [disk1of3].pbp" looking at my collection and seeing that makes my OCD purr like a kitten
What it also did was shrank my collection from 30GB down to 20GB.... that's amazing! Also in the process I found all my roms that I can just discard the subchannel data and cue sheets (for the games that I have) that my games work fine without the newly made TOC file which is that subchannel data.
what's even more amazing is this actually fixed a lot of the games I had that wouldn't boot in FPSE on android.... like 4-5.. it told me the cue sheet was invalid and I chose to compress without the cue sheet and boom booted right up instead of hanging at loading screen... so I think that was what the problem was. Every game I listed below works just great in FPSE for android, (minus saga fronteir, I hear sound but no video, might need to re-rip) I don't have my pandora anymore or else I'd check it with that as well.
anyway... check it out... just beautiful
