F1ReB4LL suggested i reach out to LedZep and/or Sarami regarding a "gluer" tool to glue the various bins/tracks of a bin+cue together to form a single img, or a straight up converter, that would do a conversion of cue+bin to to CCD+IMG+SUB.

I've had successful conversions of bin+cue to ccd+img+sub by mounting and redumping, but i've also had several that ended up with an img file that fails to match a previously dumped crc-32, and have run into some types of images that the tools i currently have are unable to deal with properly.

Is there any chance of getting a tool that would help automate this sort of process?


Thanks all

Theres a couple of ways of scripting this


by far the easiest would be to use SBITools.
It should work perfectly for this purpose.

https://github.com/Kippykip/SBITools/releases

you could script it using forfiles.   (you could try a for loop but the spaces in the filenames will be a complete ballache to escape)

Something along the lines of (in this example I have a few cue/bin images extracted in one folder and have placed sbitools in the same folder. )


forfiles /M "*.cue" /C "cmd /C sbitools.exe -cue2ccd @file"

the output was: (apologies its a bit lengthy) 

Z:\Saturn Extracted>forfiles /M "*.cue" /C "cmd /C sbitools.exe -cue2ccd @file"

the result was a new subfolder called CCD was created, in which is a IMG/CCD/SUB/CUE image created from the redump images.

try it out, you will see what I mean.

Obviously that's for batch conversion.
syntax to just do a single image would just be:

sbitools.exe -cue2ccd  <path to cue file>

It's worth noting that you should probably delete the LSD patches folder (or the contents thereof) before starting just in case a filename clashes with a PSX image filename.

ok, last follow up, it's 3AM here.

the img files match the combined CRC from the dumps page.

see attached image.

I always mounted the image in DT 3.47 and dumped with CCD to do this, or used CDMage to do it.

I was able to get quite a few images converted using Wiggy2k's method of sbitools.

Unfortunately, 41 images didn't get converted, with sbitools claiming that they had invalid cue files.

While i haven't looked at every single Cue file from those having issues yet, the one thing i'm seeing are individual tracks broken down into multiple indexes

I'm wondering if there is something anyone can help me do to get these compatible with SBITools. I've already reached out to the author of that program, but he's got life issues that will likely prevent him from working on this tool further for the time being.

The emulator BizHawk (https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/releases/) comes with a tool called DiscHawk that also merges bin+cue files into ccd+img. You can try that.

Thanks for that tip. I'm curious how it handles these strange multi-index track cue files that sbitools choked on.
