7z still usually beats most formats, but the 7z format is very hard/impossible to index efficiently (see next). Interestingly, while bzip2 should usually compress better than gzip, with the few ISOs which I tested, gzip compressed about the same as bzip2. If you have a lot of ISO files, the space saving can quickly add up to many gigabytes. if NTFS compression compresses a file from 4G to 3.5G = saving 500M, gzip will probably save about twice which will result in about 3G). Gzip is a very standard and well known format, and its compression ratio is similar to zip, and usually saves about twice space than NTFS compression (e.g. (no, I want it too but 7z will probably never be supported, other compressions will maybe be supported, but not soon). This is still not at the git repository but hopefully will get there soon (so new git nightlies will not have this support for now). This version of pcsx2 supports reading compressed ISO using gzip.
