thanks! for the link!!!!! im now having some issues getting it working can i post in the thread about it?

@bilsmaks.

What is your problem?

Which way are you converting?

if you see my comment at the end of that thread, since we switched to .cue instead of .gdi for these discs (it's a long and very much maligned topic) then some manual steps editing the dat are required when converting in certain circumstances.

im trying to go from redump to tosec, it seems to fix track02.raw but nothing else

which image exactly ?
is that the only track that needs fixing? that behaviour doesn't sound right.

here for example is my recently submitted dump (for Redump) of "Chocolat - Maid Cafe 'Curio' Taikenban"
it's not even in the redump DB yet.

if i put my binary files in the working folder.
add the destination DAT (in this case "Sega Dreamcast - Samplers (TOSEC-v2019-12-22_CM).dat")
select the dump and destination folder and click convert.

all three files (tracks) are rebuilt to the folder i selected as the destination:

The output folder then contains a set of files that match the TOSEC / Dumpcast dump:

so far ive got the setup correct and using the tosec dat, im trying to fix the following redump games back into tosec:

click convert it instantly says complete and nothing is in the output dir and no log of anything being done


the only way i was able to get it to convert the track02.raw was converting the bin/cue redump using an app i found that converts bin/cue to gdi called gdidrop...then using the gdemu_sd app that has a convert to gdemu feature, then running that through here...but it only fixed track02.raw... so i aborted that method for now

hope this helps!!
