💿 ROM Compressor

CMD Tool that converts .iso and .cue/.bin ROM files to .chd, a much better optimized file format.

📋 Prerequisites

This script uses the MAME Tool CHDMAN, that you can download with the rest of the MAME Project here.

Get the last binary and extract it, then take chdman.exe.

🛠️ Setup

If the script doesn't find the CHDMAN command, it won't start the main menu, so make sure the script is in the same folder as chdman.exe or that is on your Windows PATH.

⚙️ Project Usage Explanation

The menu script has 4 options:

• Convert .cue files in the current folder to .chd:
  Takes all the .cue and .bin files in the current folder and converts them to .chd.
• Convert .iso files in the current folder to .chd:
  Takes all the .iso files in the current folder and converts them to .chd.
• Convert all files recursively to .chd:
  Searches in all the subfolders for .iso and .cue/.bin files and converts them to .chd.
• Remove all source .cue/bin and .iso files:
  Searches in all the subfolders for .iso and .cue/.bin files and deletes them.

Caution

Only use the remove option if all .iso and .cue/.bin ROM files have been succesfully converted to .chd.
