chdman createcd makes CD CHDs of PSP discs too, which were taken for PS1 games. A CHD is now a PS1
disc only when its volume descriptor's system ID is PLAYSTATION, and otherwise goes on to the PSP
disc checks.

A CD CHD is read through its track metadata: each track's frames are
padded to a multiple of four, a pregap is stored only when its type
starts with V, and audio is big-endian. A .chd that's a CD is a PS1 disc,
PSP discs being DVDs. The FileLoader-backed core_file the PSP CHD block
device used is now OpenCHDThroughLoader(), for both.
An .mds gives each track's start, pregap and length, and where in the
.mdf it's stored, with 96 bytes of subchannel data after each sector.
Anything between tracks isn't stored. A bare .mdf goes through its .mds,
which the game browser lists, and archives install with both.
MODE2/2336 cue sheets, which only had their sector headers made before,
are now tested too.

A zip or 7z with a PS1 disc in it (a cue sheet and the files it names, a
.ccd with its .img and .sub, or a lone raw .bin or .img) is now installed
like a zipped ISO. A disc of several files goes into a folder of its own,
named after the cue sheet or .ccd. An ISO in the archive still takes
priority, and a lone .bin or .img only counts when nothing else does.
The game screen offers Play for a PS1 disc image only when the installed
firmware's POPS can run it: 3.95 to 6.61, with popsman.prx.

A cue sheet, a CloneCD .ccd, or a bare .bin, .img or .iso of a PS1 disc
now boots on the firmware's POPS, as the converted EBOOT.PBP popstation
would make from it. PS1EbootFileLoader builds the PBP header, PARAM.SFO
(the disc ID from SYSTEM.CNF) and the PSISOIMG header, TOC and block
index, and serves the disc image from the image's own files. Each block
of 16 sectors is a stored DEFLATE block: the manager won't read an image
of uncompressed blocks in its own format, but the converted PBP's inflate
takes stored ones, and with every block the same size, reads map straight
onto the files. Nothing is compressed or written anywhere.
Cue sheets can have any number of files, AUDIO tracks, INDEX 00 and
PREGAP, and a missing FILE falls back to the cue sheet's own name. A
2048-byte .iso gets Mode 2 Form 1 sectors made around its user data.
The EBOOT is mounted as the only file in host0:, through BlobFileSystem,
which now saves its open handles in savestates. The game browser lists
.cue, .ccd, .bin and .img, leaving out the .bin and .img files a cue
sheet or .ccd next to them describes, and a bare image opened directly
goes through the cue sheet that names it. GameInfoCache reads the title
and ID of these, and of real PS1 EBOOTs, from their PARAM.SFO.
