Yet Another Cso Compressor (YACC) is a graphical interface for using BOOSTER's Compressed Iso Converter. It compresses PSP game ISOs into smaller CSO files, often reducing their size by over half. With simple adjustments, homebrews like devhook can decompress these CSO files on the fly without losing space on your Memory Stick.

Written by kapoue3, YACC supports compression and decompression of several file formats including Booster's CSO, kapoue3's CisoPlus!, Dark_AleX's DAX and Uncle Jam's JSO.
