[Feature] Handle Sony PlayStation PBP Images #119

Closed maxexcloo closed 9 months ago

While importing my PSX collection I noticed that PBP images don't seem to be handled - I'm not sure if these can be converted in a similar way to CHD files but it might be an idea.

According to this, PBP is not a fully reversible format, as such it won't be possible to recreate the original cue/bin to check against the database. I will probably support exporting to it though, when I finally start working on a export-roms command.

Fair enough - thought that could be the case! What’s the use case for export roms? Currently I have a pretty convoluted bash script that takes a mapping csv and exports my rom folders to different system names for use with my handhelds - is it something like that?

Exactly that, and more :) The personal use case I had in mind was to be able to export to my various Everdrives, or to various consoles internal drives via ftp for instance. That will include a bunch of filters and renaming options down the road.
