- | ===== Create CHD ===== | + | I want you to understand some defintions of disc images, as we want get you messed with some valueable information. |
- | First off, here's a comparison of sizes for the PSX-game '' | + | <WRAP info> |
- | - In **BIN/CUE** it is 747,030,480 bytes. | + | For information |
- | - In **PBP** (maximum compression) it is 517,187,964 bytes. | + | |
- | - In **CHD** it is 465,566,193 bytes. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | It's a LOT easier to batch convert **BIN/CUE** dumps to **CHD** than it is to convert them to **PBP** | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Just place the chdman.exe into the directory where you have your **BIN/CUE** dumps, open the command line in that location (assuming you are on Windows), and type this in: | + | |
- | + | ||
- | <code> | + | |
- | for %i in (*.cue) do chdman createcd -i " | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | If you want to reverse the process, you can type in. This will create your **BIN/CUE** back! LOSELESS! | + | |
- | + | ||
- | < | + | |
- | for %i in (*.chd) do chdman extractcd -i " | + | |
- | </ | + | |
- | + | ||
- | For a Unix mashine you can use this little script, placed next to your ROM files. | + | |
- | <code bash| cue2chd.sh> | + | |
- | # | + | |
- | for cueFile in *.cue; do | + | |
- | echo " | + | |
- | chdman createcd -i " | + | |
- | done | + | |
- | echo "All done." | + | |

- | I'm not currently aware of any batch command line methods of creating PBP files like this FIXME. So converting to CHD format will be a lot easier for you than converting to be PBP. Just enter the command into the command line before you go to bed, and the conversion process should be done by the time you wake up. | + | |

- | The CHD format was created with the purpose of preserving exact copies of games in a compressed | + | |

- | **M3U** files work just like **BIN/CUE** files. You can just replace the '' | + | |

- | If you have one of the European PSX games that features LibCrypt copy protection, you have a .sbi file in addition to the **BIN/CUE** file. The **CHD** creation process doesn' | + | |
